Nforce 2?? - Page 3

MadOnion87 · 30th September 2002, 9:59 AM

2 x Nvidia Nforce2 10/100Mbps (1x) & Realtek RTL8201L/ICS1893AF (1x)
i personally don't think is necessary to have 3 NIC
i want a raid controller man
if i'm really gonna buy a nforce2
i'm sure i will go the non-onboard video way

I'm 99.9% sure you'll like ABit's NForce2 offering then

...I'm assuming they are going to make one.. course they are

/me sits patiently and waits

Can't wait to see some micro ATX nforce2 goodness, have some custom stuff in mind.

BTW i think a single 10/100 ether port is fine, i sure don't wanna be paying for 3 of em when i'll only ever use the one (maybe 2 at the most)

MadOnion87 · 30th September 2002, 5:09 PM

2 is what i'm using atm
1 for cable and 1 for lan
and i don't see the use of the "extra" 3rd port

PappaSmurf · 30th September 2002, 5:12 PM

Well.. if you have 2 PC's and Cable, then you have no need for a stupid big 8port hub..

Thats all I could think of

MadOnion87 · 30th September 2002, 5:37 PM

but a 5 port hub only cost 45$
i will buy a hub instead of having so much NIC cause NIC eats up resources

That could work

But im thinking the extra ethernet ports are intended to be used for some sort of beowulf clutering or something odd like that, where it would be a significant advantage having small slim stackable systems like that...

Just a thought

w0000t
FINALLY

/me drools and convulses
heheh

PappaSmurf · 1st October 2002, 3:25 PM

Well.. it's hardly a review of the NForce2.. it gets a few mentions, but it is only a prototype board and they say it is *very* buggy...

Not exactly what I was hoping considering it should be released in two weeks or so... they are obviously aiming squarely @ the christmas market.. I wouldn't be supprised if it isn't available untill the end of this month/beginning of next month

DDsD · 1st October 2002, 3:34 PM

gah! the sites not spitting the pages out any more

Either the report has been pulled or they are overloaded with traffic *sigh*

o well.. sit and wait i will do

PappaSmurf · 1st October 2002, 3:39 PM

I've probably got it in my cache

I'll take a look hold on
