Flamed and loved Toms Hardware has posted a round up of three brand new spanking nForce 2 motherboards. The chipset in fact is the first complete dual channel DDR solution to market. Boards tested are: Asus A7N8X, Chaintech Zenith Series CT-7NJS and Leadtek WinFast K7NCR18D. Read more...
Our benchmarks underlined the fact that nForce2 is currently the best chipset to take. Sure, you will need to get two DIMMs, but the performance gap to KT400 is quite significant. More importantly, it helps the Athlon XP make its level of performance affordable in contrast to the Pentium 4. Equally important is the fact that all three nForce2 motherboards ran stably - a fact to which we cannot always attest for new chipset generations. Just set the memory timings to "aggressive," and the board will perform very close to the maximum, without any efforts. nForce 2 Round Up
