NVIDIA's Socket 775 Core Logic Coming Soon

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."

    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.

    Link to the official press release, no need to guess further.
