Well at least there's native SATA. The Silicon Image Si3112R on my board hasn't given me any crashes or driver-related problems, other than BSODing when SpeedFan tries to do a S.M.A.R.T. query on it (which is sort of understandable). But Silicon Image has almost nothing on the chip itself, and the only way you can get drivers is through the board manufactuer's page.

Yes but will it have SoundStorm?
Seems as if Nvidia is abandoning SoundStorm. What do they know that we don't? |

#6 atidriverssuck - You forget, When comparing the audigy 2 and other sound platforms, the Soundstorm gives out the best -performance- in games. As in, it takes the least FPS away when enabling sound.
I've seen situations where it gave at 5-10 FPS back in some games from the audigy O_o Strange, but true. Teh soundstorm is good for gamers too, I use it afterall. |

This is the baby I've been waiting for. The ole' KT133 just ain't cutting it anymore. I mean, when you have to run a Radeon 9600 at 800x600 that's just wrong.

Seems like nvidia is going for enterprise market. I think sound storm is being redone to bring it up another notch, and we wont hear much about that for awhile. It would be nice if we could mix and match features - Id take the firewall, SATA and sound storm at the expense of gigalan . . . I also remember a rumor that nforce2 was going to get SATA etc last fall, wonder what took so long.
