NVIDIA's Socket 775 Core Logic Coming Soon

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 28, 2005 @04:40AM 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."

Well at least they went to the trouble to make available some half-decent drivers for *nix systems. Its taken ATI a long time to get to the quality the Nvidia drivers have been for quite a while.

There's a difference between "available from nVidia" and "available on a motherboard". Even if nVidia makes it, will any motherboard manufacurers include it? Or will they just go with the standard RealTek/AC97 onboard sound solutions?

There were only one or two actual boards that used the full SoundStorm solution -- because of it's price, it was relegated to Deluxe models, and the standard onboard sound solutions were used on the normal boards.
