For nForce?

Or a new nVidia sound card?

I hope it's the latter. We could definitely use more competition in the sound card industry.

Sounds like they are gonna integrate sound into a geforce core and sell an integrated sound/video card. Either that or they are gonna market the MCP as a seperate processor on sound boards.

I remember very distinctly an nVidia representative saying they would not enter the add-in sound card industry.

I don't have a clue as to why nVidia would be listing a job like this, except to say that maybe they are entering the add-in sound card industry. I wouldn't be surprised to see some nForce-like sound in a few of nVidia's products....

Do you honestly think that nVidia would come out and tell the world their new business strategies?
