Epox to introduce Nforce 2 IGP in next two weeks

[Mem]

Info @the inquirer .

The commercial name for this board will be EP-8RGA+, it will support all the Athlons and Durons around and will use Nvidia Nforce 2 IGP - 128 Northbridge or IGP (Integrated Graphic Processor) as Nvidia likes to call it and Nforce 2 MCP-T South Bridge.



The key difference between this IGP and the reviewed SPP board that you can see here is that this board features Geforce MX core on board and will provide two display connectors on board for dual display configurations.

Sounds like a sweet board. Wonder how much it will cost? Also, I'm not really sure who they're aiming it at. It has a lot of enthusiast features, but no enthusiast is going to run a GF4MX for graphics. The integrated video and sound make it seem as though it were targeting the OEM or business markets, but it's going to be pretty expensive for those areas after you tack on Firewire, flash memory suport, etc. If I were buying for my company, I'd have to choose a cheaper Intel-based solution, where the integrated graphics are ass, but you don't pay for things you don't really need.

If you're buying for your company, you might consider one of these as an alternative, with up to a 2600+ (266MHz-based). They're working well for us, I liked them so well I got an A7N266-VM for my own workstation too.

The dual-display feature could make the nForce2 IGP boards worth the money all by itself if your user needs a dual-display solution. Won't take long for the extra expense to pay for itself with increased productivity from the user.

Thanks for pointing out the update Mem.

Are there any Nforce2 IGP boards out yet?

There's already a few dual-display integrated graphics mobos, like the ATi-based Fusion from FIC.

No nVidia ones though.
