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.

      I remember at my work a collegue was using a CD-R in a 50 speed cd-rom drive. We suddenly heard a very loud click and then tried to open te CD-drive. It didn't respond. He continued his work until suddenly the drive opened and it spit out the CD-R over the guy in 100s of small pieces. He looked like he had been antiqued with goldpowder:)

    The upcomin nForce 3 chipset will include a built-in heat sink, firewall and a nifty solitare game.

    Plans for nForce 4 (still some time in the future) include an embedded version of Java and/or Internet Explorer

  5. The chipset? by AppyPappy · · Score: 5, Funny

    The chipset contains 5 PCI slots? I'm impressed. I had to buy a motherboard to get that.

    If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem
