Nforce 4? Other than gaming, what else does it offer?

If I where to wait for the nforce 4, what advantages would I see for audio use, which by the way depends heavly on FPU usage. Normally the Sisoft Sandra mark is a good indicator of how many plug-ins one can run before getting audio glitches, drops, noise, etc.

Secondary would be video encoding, and I suppose, maybe, just maybe, using a second GPU card for the sycn locked video output when scoring.

Thanks.

 
Maybe I should be more specific.....

Would it be worth the wait for SATA3 and NCQ if one where not a gamer would there be advantages?

The other I suppose, is will NCQ be offered on cards, or is this part of the chipset design?

thanks
 
the nvidia 6600, and 6800 series have video encode/decode acceleration...so if you go SLI...hehe....too bad the drivers aren't written for that kind of configuration yet. BTW NCQ is for hard drives, which requires chipset support if you're using the integrated SATA ports.
 
I think NF4 boards will be a little less problem-prone than NF3 Ultra boards; that makes sense, because most people see NF4 as a new "revision" of the NF3 Ultra chipset.

The boards will be more mature, stable, and overclocker friendly, hopefully. The current crop of 939-pin boards feel too wishy washy for me.
