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.

    It must be a reference to this article. "A mouse can be just as dangerous as a bullet or a bomb". Sheesh.

    YES-- I can't express how much I agree with this post. NVIDIA marketing has been completely out of control for years, sitting on a superior product and yet creating total confusion instead of pushing their cards. Similar to the MX debacle, the Quaddro line fails to be distinguished from the GeForce line except for the price. Also, the GeForce2Go mobile line similarly lags the desktop line.

    The GeForce4 Ti XXXX cards are the ones you want, and the XXXX number after is linearly proportional to the clock speed. Everything else is FUD and I have no idea why they do this. It's as bad as Apple changing the specs on iMacs and not giving them different version numbers-- developers have to say things like "our product runs on green and orange iMacs with DVD drives" because users don't know what the graphics card or RAM level is.
