Hopefully it will overclock well. The Athlons need higher FSBs to keep up with the P4s. nFORCE would be amazing if it was for P4 right now, but it isn't. And even if they wanted to make it for P4, it's looking like VIA and Intel will beat them to the punch on dual channel P4 DDR.
Ok that rocks... I want one!!!!
A GF4 onboard.. heh... Granted, it wont be in the standards most these boys around here are used to, but that would be more than enough for me. H... yea....

DDR 400 support so the FSB and memory hopefully can run synchronously.

The current incarnation of the nForce is the pits at overclocking. Stock speeds are rock solid but somewhat slow, kinda. I have the MSI K7N420 pro and it scores a 3400 tops with a geforce 2 Ti at stock speeds... whereas a KX7333R with the same CPU, GPU and RAM at the same FSB (133MHz synchronous) will get 4200 3DMarks. Quite a difference no?
The pits at overclocking? Sorry, I have to disagree there.
I had the ASUS A7N266 board, with PC2100 Crucial and a 1.4 TBird, I was able to get 172x9 with it. And that was with a Zalman5000 Cooler. Temps reached about 48 at full load and amb about 53, a little high, but nice IMO.
Its not the 200+ fsb that some are getting, but that is still a nice OC.
