Difference between nForce3 250Gb and nForce3 Ultra?

[Fenuxx]

I've been wondering this for a while now, so I'll just ask. What's the REAL difference between the nForce3 250Gb and the nForce3 Ultra (besides one having "Ultra" at the end )? I have always thought that the Ultra was the 250Gb just in Socket 939 flavor, while the 250Gb was for Socket 754. However, I have seen 939 boards with 250Gb chipsets, like THIS ONE, so that throws that out of the water. I know both have a hardware firewall, and SATA RAID, GB-E, and the such, so what is the difference?

NOBODY knows? Man, this must be a stumper!

I beleive the one printed on NewEgg was a misprint

Well, I thought it was a misprint as well, but its been like that for a few weeks now. That makes me think its not a misprint.

Just did a Google, and it seems NewEgg isn't the only one with this board, and they all say nForce3 250Gb. So, its definitely not a typo.

According to the nForce3 overview at nVidia:

The only feature exclusive to the Ultra is native 1000MHz HT support

You're right, the difference is the CPU socket (and faster HT on the Ultra that doesn't really make much of a difference). They're basically the same thing.
