Posted by Hemos on from the moving-into-the-big-boy-space dept.

Hack Jandy writes "NVIDIA dominates a large percentage of AMD chipset sales already, and next week they will reportedly make the announcement to pursue Intel based platforms as well. NVIDIA's General Manager claims March 1st (during the Intel Developer Forum) will be the date the world gets to see NVIDIA's SLI chipset running on a Socket 775 Intel motherboard."

    They've pretty much declared that Soundstorm is dead, save for the possibility of it showing up as add-on card in the future.

    No. SoundStorm is dead.

    The motherboard mfgrs weren't getting enough positive feedback from it, it was expensive (the Dolby license was not the only reason), and Creative bought Sensura, whose technology it used.

    I'm running nForce-2 on my Myth box, and I haven't had any unexplained freezes. Did you monitor the CPU temperature? Overheating is the most common cause of random freezes. It's quite easy to use insufficient fans or improperly-attached heat sinks.

    I've also heard some suggestions to use the pci=noapic command-line option when booting the kernel (in your grub.conf or equivalent); I'm not sure if that's a nForce issue or a 2.6 issue.

"I am excited to provide IDF attendees with a preview of the features and performance that NVIDIA nForce MCPs can bring to Intel-based PCs."

  6. Article pretty slim on information. by caryw · · Score: 2, Informative

    The link at the bottom of the page to the german "computerbase.de" provides much more information. Just make sure you run it through the fish.
    Even after fishing it provides more detail than the original article.

    I've seen as many issues with cheapy psu's as I have overheating.. also, many video cards are clocked to their max... I bought a radeon 9600 pro for my kid's pc, so he could play doom3 better, and it wasn't stable under load to video... when I underclocked 1 notch in ati-util, it's been rock solid since then.

    Apparantly you haven't seen recent benchmarks on SLI: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041123/ index.html and here for Doom 3, Counterstrike and FarCry benches: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2258 &p=4 The store you work probably isn't selling SLI because the new SLI PCI-Express mobos were just released. They're available on Newegg, CDW, etc.
