Nvidia introduces nForce4 SLI X16 for AMD and Intel - Dell is first user of Intel version !
FYI, see:-
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_24795.html http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=2493 No flipper-board, full x16 PCIe per (dual) video card. Total PCIe channels: 38 AMD, 40 Intel. Very interesting indeed. See Anandtech's analysis. Dell is shipping the XPS600 already, afaik. So, third-party motherboards should show up very shortly.

However, I have not seen any 955X motherboards with two PCIe x16 sockets. Also, I am sure that Dell would have used the 955X instead of nVidia, if it could have been persuaded to run in dual x16 SLI mode. Or maybe it is a cost issue; the 955X chip-set does not come cheap. Pity nVidia did not integrate decent audio into the SLI X16 revision to eliminbate any excuse for buying the Intel chip-set...nVidia is perfectly capable of such a task.

I heard that "Tim" said:

I would guess that licence agreement will give them the technology in this updated nForce chipset and they'll just add it into thir existing 955 as with the earlier tech. |

Define what decent audio is?
I see this crap repeated over and over: since Nvidia dropped Soundstorm, they have sucked, they haven't had a real DSP, etc. It's all bull****. Soundstorm was just a Dolby Digital real-time encoder. The actual signal processing was, and still is, performed on the southbridge. Now, the audio codecs quality on the motherboards has never been great, and are usually very noisy, but just because NVidia wisely chose to drop the expensive DD 5.1 encoder chip doesn't suddenly mean their audio quality got measureably worse. |

actually nvideahaha can put four 7800's is dual sli and i still wouldn't buy
it. Now i will switch away from Dell. I need stability in a PC workstation/game machine - spell that A T I partner. geesh play the nvideohoho driver game for a living ? uh... which driver version for this and the other driver version for that - pops i guess i better use the other driver version for the other thing huh. gawd wake up. nvideahuh is just a fast way to crash. no thanks. can't you tell by the threads here in the ATI newsgroup that ATI is up and running and stable. guess not you were stupid enough to cross post - so you must be stupid enough to purchase nvdia poop. bet you are going to get two 5200's and put those in sli and then saturate the nvidea newsgroup with "which drivers ?" go figure. http://www.smokeypoint.com/3dfx.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm hope this helps, ** No Fate ** cheers, dracman Tomb Raider: Shotgun City http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/childrenspajamas.htm ** Far Cry with Valerie as the Adventuress ** http://www.smokeypoint.org/farCry.htm http://www.smokeypoint.org/traod/traod.html http://www.smokeypoint.com/tombraide...r1pictures.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/tombraide...1midaspics.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/3dfx.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm ** Win2k and winXP hi-res with TR1 http://www.smokeypoint.com/glidos.htm ** Tomb Raider 1 add on UB levels http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb2.htm#Tova -=-=- ** Final Fantasy Online mega ingame Pictures ! ** ** for those whom wonder about "whats it like anyway huh" http://www.smokeypoint.com/ffxionline/traod.html http://www.smokeypoint.org/ffxionlin...ibb/Jueno.html -=-=- ** GTA III vice City Character MOD http://www.smokeypoint.com/uzi.htm#gta3 ** Far Cry with Valerie as the Adventuress ** http://www.smokeypoint.org/farCry.htm ** Singles: Flirt UP Your Life AI and character MOD http://www.smokeypoint.com/childrenspajamas.htm#singles ** World of Warcraft adventuring North to Ironforge.
