| More Details Revealed on NVIDIA nForce 600 Series Chipsets |
NVIDIA has a new chipset line with availability scheduled for the first part of November. The nForce 650i Ultra, 650i SLI, and 680i SLI replace the 500 series of chipsets on Intel motherboards (mostly due to issues with a 1066MHz front-side bus). The 650i chipsets are effectively the same, except that the SLI version has two PCI-Express slots for using two video cards, with each slot having 8 lanes. Both chipsets support 4 SATA2 ports, gigabit networking, and high-definition audio. The 680i SLI offers three PCI-Express slots, probably for some three-GPU physics solutions NVIDIA hasn't announced yet. Two of the slots get 16 lanes apiece in SLI mode, and the third gets 8. Compared with the 650i, it also has DDR2-1200 support, official support for a 1333MHz bus, the DualNet feature present on 500 series boards, and a couple of extra SATA2 ports.
