GeForce 6100 Chipset
nForce 3 and nForce 4 are single chip solutions. With the GeForce 6100 series, NVIDIA returns to a two-chip solution.
The GeForce6100/6150 provide integrated graphics support and PCI Express. The 430/410 MCP, NVIDIA's name for their Southbridges, provides the rest of the peripheral support including integrated LAN, IDE, SATA, USB and support for both high-definition Azalia and AC'97 audio.
Motherboards and systems are expected in early October from a wide cross-section of manufacturers. Two of the earliest boards are expected from Asus . . .

Looks great! Nice that Nvidia seem dedicated to the AMD platform. Stuff like this make for great budget systems and HTPCs. :)rqle - Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - link
yeah, i really wish they took out those printer ports and even the keyboard/mice PS/2 ports. The DVI port is great but the other ports I can do without. If it really necessary to have those PS/2 ports ill pay an extra $3-5 bux for those add-on USB to PS/2 ports. Actually i preferred ALL future boards to go this route. Dont see why they cant make legacy ports an addon based either by charging a little more or making it a separate add-on to buy separately. Both works for me.
