NVIDIA: New nForce4 Chipsets

[onethreehill]

NVIDIA announced two new chipsets for Intel processors today. Where NVIDIA has only targeted the high-end of the Intel chipset market to this point, the new chipsets are aimed at the entire Intel chipset line.

The new NVIDIA nForce4 SLI XE MCP is designed for the Performance Mainstream segment, while the new NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra MCP is aimed at the Mainstream market. Along with the existing nForce4 SLI x16 MCP, this chipset release means that NVIDIA has an almost complete top-to-bottom product range for all Intel Socket 775 processors. Motherboards based upon the new chipsets should be available in the retail channel within the next thirty days from several motherboard manufacturers.

I think Intel will still dominate the 775 market...

I hope these don't suck as bad as the current SLI LGA775 boards do...

but with how good the 975X boards are, who cares...
if these do good, then great.
these with a presler would be amazing.

unless of course the boards just suck like the current SLI boards for intel do...
