New nForce chipset with 400mhz fsb??

[Wurrmm]

Is there a new nForce chipset comming out with 400mhz support for the new Bartons?

I think the Nforce2 already supports it. The max it will need is a BIOS update when the time comes!

nVidia knew ahead of time that athlon would be ramped up to 200 fsb when the barton was released, so they desgned their chipset to run at 400 when necessary. Unlike VIA that constantly "updates" a new chipset, making consumers buy a newer motherboard to support upcoming processors. nVidia offers 2 lines of products supporting the best of the Athlon cpus...
