It's a software overclocking utility which previously named NVOverclock. You can use this tool to overclock the nForce2 based mobo in Windows.

If I agree with you... will you shut up?

Why are they releasing this now when K8 Crush m/b and A64 are coming out soon. Wont this drive people towards Athlon when the emphasis should be on Athlon 64 ?

This has also been discussed in the nForcersHQ forum. Some think its the overclocking utility, some think its a new name for the drivers, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Maybe it's a unified driver which combines detonator and nforce2 drivers in one, with some OC utils :smile: ...
<font color=blue>
"Now just one simple 800Mb download! no more fussing with separate driver sets, and tweaking the BIOS.. select your system performance from 4 options:
<b>a)</b>normal
<b>b)</b>Slightly Overclocked - Oc your FSB 10%
<b>c)</b>Heavily Overclocked - OC by 50%
<b>d)</b>Cheat mode - simply detects all benchmarking software, and hacks it to give better scores. also reduces graphics quality to increase performance, and blames futuremark and/or ATI for any problems."

$hit Happens. I just wish it would happen to someone else for a change.

actually i think nvidia is getting too lazy to hack the scores...it just distorts the score screen to make your benchie scores look 3x faster than what they are

So easy to fry yet tastes so good...
