MSI - MSI To Showcase nForce2 MCP-2S At Comdex

NVIDIA’s MCP2-S and MCP2-S1000 are probably one of the most mysterious media and communication processors from the company. The controllers are believed to bring Serial ATA-150 as well as Gigabit Ethernet functions in and were originally projected to come this June. Then unofficial sources restated plans of the Santa Clara, California-based core-logic designer and we expected the new South Bridges to emerge this September. After the new MCPs did not show up in early Fall, in mid-October some sources close to ABIT indicated its intention to bring AN7 mainboard with MCP2-S controller. Unfortunately, ABIT has changed its mind and decided not to wait for the MCP2-S, but to stick to the MCP2-T. Well, the odyssey seems to be over, as some boys from this forum noticed MSI – one of the largest NVIDIA’s customers – officially mentioning about NVIDIA’s I/O processors with Serial ATA-150 and Gigabit Ethernet support.
