Questions about the nForce?

[SaturnX]

Hey Everyone,
I've been reading multiple articles about the nForce, though I'm still confused a little, is the nForce a complete motherboard chipset, with both north/south bridge pieces? Or does it only provde onboard graphics, sound, lan? A little info would be greatfully appreciated.

It's a complete chipset. At least that it what everybody that has written articles about it has said.

Ahh, alrite so that it'll be a compelte nVidia motherboard, will it come w/o Audio, Video, LAN? I really have no need for those. So will the board come without all those features?

a complete nvidia based chipset, but the usual mobo manufacturers are going to make them, and from what i've read, i think the audio processing is supposed to be better than anything else out there right now

the audio is supposed to be kick@ss, but i think i like the breakout box of the hercules better. the graphics should be ho-hum, best case not even up to mx 200 standards. the hypertransport bus should be really good for your IDE devices, better than some PCI add-on chip. if they put an ethernet jack in the i/o shield i'd use it. if i have to use one of those damned ACR cards i'd just use a regular pci ethernet card
