I don't see why THG ripped the nVidia, it did finish in the upper half of the boards, and all the rest had a the KT266A in common. The nForce boards even managed to win a couple benchmarks.
Those particular boards were aimed at the budget market, and are only the first examples of this technology. nVidia will undoubtedly release enhanced version of the drivers, and companies will release more performance oriented boards. A gain of only 5% would put the nForce above all the competition. All in all I think it's a great performing board, and would love to see more on the audio system.
Even if BIOS and driver improvements only manage to tie these boards with the best KT266A boards on the market, they will still be tied at the top. Good work nVidia, now what's your next revision going to bring?
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
