The Motherboards
NVIDIA has expanded beyond the original 5 launch partners that were chosen for the initial nForce launch to include companies such as Chaintech, EPoX, Leadtek and Soltek for their nForce2 release.
Of course the big names are also ready with their nForce2 solutions, with ABIT, ASUS and MSI coming through once again.
With two different MCPs, the new IGP and the new SPP there are a number of combinations that motherboard manufacturers can exploit using the nForce2 chipset. We’d expect to see cost effective solutions using the nForce2 SPP and the basic MCP and the higher class enthusiast boards offering the new MCP-T. System Integrators and OEMs will demand nForce2 IGP solutions from the motherboard manufacturers and we may even see some configurations using the original nForce IGP in order to cut costs.
As we’ve mentioned before, you won’t be able to pick up any of these boards until the September timeframe; although we will have benchmarks of NVIDIA’s reference board far in advance of that date.

The nForce2 chipset was released by Nvidia in July 2002 as a refresh to the original nForce product offering. The nForce2 chipset was a platform for motherboards supporting AMD's Socket A CPUs along with DDR SDRAM.
