nForce2 Preview

Posted by michael on from the chips-and-dips dept.

An anonymous submitter writes "I noticed that a review of NVIDIA's nForce2 chipset has been posted here. From what I can gather the chipset contains two 10/100 ethernet controllers, six USB 2.0 ports, UltraATA133 support, three 1394 ports, five PCI slots, and an integrated GeForce4 MX core including NVIDIA's nView technology and a TV Tuner." Tom's Hardware and NVNews also have looks at it.

    heh, wonder how many XBox owners are kicking themselves for buying a PC you can't upgrade (easily). Especially now that Halo is coming to the PC and Mac. I dont see this chipset being of much interest to slashdotters - personally I hate getting sound and ethernet on board. If I wanted a computer that was tough to upgrade I'd have bought an iMac ;-)

    You are fucking nuts if you just put the modem up on the lan. Even the firewall/router/soho bs. At worst go smoothwall, at best homebrew up your own but jesus h christ put the thing in front of something hard.
