You would be hard pressed to find a more exact answer then sometime around April/May.

Last I heard, it was april.
Not sure though. If they ahve some decent adjustment options as far as voltage, I might pick one up.

I'm not sure when they'll be released. But here's anandtech's overclocking efforts with their nforce 250 reference board.

Can't wait to see some production boards arriving :D

"To make the 4 versions even more interesting, the Ultra can even be used for Socket 754 processors if the manufacturer chooses. In fact, there are designs for top Athlon 64 boards that nVidia says will use the Ultra chipset to provide 1000 HyperTransport to Socket 754. This would, theoretically, bring added overclocking headroom to current Athlon 64 CPU's. In fact, the nVidia Reference Board that we received used the Ultra chip and provided 1000 HyperTransport. We can confirm that dropping the multiplier to 9.5, and dropping HT to 800 allowed us to reach 250 FSB easily, which was the FSB limit on the Reference Board - all at default voltage."
It means that this chipset, if the motherboard manufacturer wants, they can do a 754pin motherboard with this processor and use 1000 Hypertransport ???
see ya
