Digit-life have thrown up their Nvidia nForce2 Ultra 400 Mainboard Roundup! Here's a byte.
nForce2 boards for the AMD Athlon XP (Socket A) chipset are not a rarity today, and the new modification of this chipset named nForce2 Ultra 400 doesn't look like a real technological innovation. No secret that the 400 MHz FSB was supported even in the nForce2-S/G. NVIDIA "suddenly found out" that the above mentioned chipset didn't have the 400MHz support only after the launch of the first Athlon XP which worked at that FSB clock. One more indication of the ephemeral novelty of the nForce2 Ultra 4 is that the board makers just changed numbers of the revisions of the existant boards instead of developing new models. On the other hand, if there are boards we haven't tested yet why not to return to the subject? Frankly, we don't expect the scores may surprise us, but what if they will? Well, let's see.
