Pricing for nForce motherboards was not released, but we do know that there will be two versions of the nForce, a 220 and a 420, the former being limited to a 64-bit memory interface. From what we hear, the extra premium that NVIDIA expects to get for nForce would price an nForce motherboard at anywhere between $12-22 higher than a competing chipset, but without all the features that NVIDIA brings to the table. NVIDIA was showing off a reference design using a Micro ATX size board, with only 4-layers, giving NVIDIA even more room to maneuver on price.

There are still a number of questions surrounding nForce that will only be answered once the nForce mobos are out in the field and being used and abused by all. For example, if nForce's MCP south bridge will be compatible and reliable with the bewildering array of PCI products coming out of Taiwan.

ASUS, Abit, Gigabyte, Mitac, and MSI have committed to nForce
