nForce2 products
Of course, all of this is for naught if we can't buy products based on nForce2. On this front, nForce2's prospects seem promising. nForce2 boards were all over the place at Computex, and NVIDIA expects Asus, Abit, Epox, MSI, Chaintech, and Leadtek to have boards ready in time products to ship in August. The nForce2 isn't likely to match VIA's KT series for availability, but there should be more and better options than with the first nForce.

Probably the most exciting nForce2-based product, however, comes from Shuttle. Shuttle's popular XPC barebones system series will be getting an nForce2-based entry, which could make it just about the perfect mini-PC. Think about it. If they use the IGP and MCP-T combo well, you'll get built-in GeForce4 MX-class graphics, USB 2.0, Firewire, Dolby digital audio, one or maybe two NIC ports, and nearly everything else you'd need. (Hopefully Shuttle will save costs by avoiding additional sound, Firewire, and network controller ASICs this time out.) nForce2's formidable graphics and sound capabilities ought to make this the best Shuttle cube yet.
