Who Will Be First with a nForce Motherboard?
The first nForce motherboards will come from some of the major vendors in the Taiwan motherboard market, including: • Abit (www.abit.com.tw) • Asus (www.asus.com) • Gigabyte (www.giga-byte.com) • Micro Star International (www.msi.com.tw) • Mitac (www.mitac.com) Look for the first products to appear in the late summer and early fall of 2001. Most motherboards will be Micro-ATX, at least initially, but of course those will fit in any case that accepts a full-sized ATX board. While the nForce chipsets will cost a bit more than bargain-basement integrated chipsets from other vendors, you won’t need a video or sound card to have great performance.
