latest news on nForce ???

[Guest]

Hi

Can anyone tell me the latest news on nForce. Is it still due to to be released in September ??

Yes, mid/late September. Look for ECS/FIC/Gigabyte boards to probably lead, with Asus, MSI, Epox, etc. coming a little behind them, and Abit coming in last (in time, not in performance

nForce is looking to have some concept flaws (IMO). 2 PCI slots? Give me a break. GeForce 2 MX? Who wants that?

The sound and dual-channel RAM are awesome, but might not be enough to float it past the bad decisions. We'll see.

Oh, almost forgot about the built-in networking. That'll save another PCI slot, and will be a nice integration. So let's see...2 PCI slots, don't need sound or NIC...maybe that'll be ok after all.

You're right, I remember one with 3, I think. Can't remember which company, though.
