Shortcomings Revealed in nForce4 SLI Redux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-hot dept.

EconolineCrush writes "Slashdot recently covered the launch of NVIDIA's nForce 4 SLI chipset for Intel processors, and although early reviews fawned over the chipset's performance, closer examination reveals several shortcomings that the initial wave of coverage failed to document. Problems with stability, drivers, and the chipset's oft-praised hardware-accelerated firewall and Gigabit Ethernet controller escaped the scrutiny of many reviews."

    AMD's chips are the undisputed king of the hill


    Several major server manufacturers would probably disagree with you.


    These days, AMD is the singlemost important chip maker on the planet, second only to Intel


    What the hell does that sentence mean? You should say it is the 2nd most important chip manufacturer if that is what you mean. Please don't use marketing speak - it just makes you sound like an AMD-fanboy
