nForce and Athlon 4

I'll be building a new pc in late august probably, and I need some info on the nForce boards and the Athlon 4. I've heard that current KT133a and AMD760 boards will run the Athlon MP, so is it safe to assume nForce boards will support the desktop Athlon 4?

Also, does anybody know any overclocking capabilities on nForce boards?
 
Asus recently announced their nForce solution, the A7N. However, there are no boards with this chipset on the market right now. The only article I read where the reviewers got their hands on a reference model could not address overclocking, b/c the bios did not have more settings then just 133fsb and 138fsb. If you intend on building your computer in August, why worry about June hardware knowledge. Wait and see what happens 🙂

Also, I can't imagine that Athlon 4 would have a problem with nForce. What do they expect you to put in there, a pentium chip? (chuckles)
 
Athlon 4 should work on the nForce.. no-one knows if it will recieve any performance improvement like we expect to see with a T-Bird and Duron..
 
Soccer, yes, there is an improvement. just like all AMD core updates, there is a increase in performance.. Goto AMDzone and read the threads there with people who got pally's in their hands. Anandtech isnt god like everyone thinks...
 
Question is, if we will see a performance increase due to the nforce prefetch buffer if it runs with an Athlon4, which has such a buffer itself in contrast to Duron/TBird...
