nVIDIA nForce3 150 is a single chip solution different from the rest of the chipset makers which adopt a North-South bridge chipsets. With an integrated solution, this bridge connecting the north and south is no longer needed. The only important factor is now the bus width and frequency of the HyperTransport link between the AMD64 processor and the the NF3 150 chipset is. Will the single chip solution compensate the lower bus width and frequency in up/downstream? How will that be reflected in the benchmarks when we compare it to ALi K8 M1687 ref board with 3200+ and Pentium 4 3.0G on ABIT Springdale and ASUS Caterwood board?
