nForce2 IGP Gold

NVIDIA’s nForce2 IGP wins the Best integrated chipset award at the INQUIRER. Intel’s i845GE chipset took the silver and the ATI I340 Mobile chipset bronze.

Nvidia and its Nforce 2 IGP surely deserve this prize with boards to show in shops in any day now. There is not any single chipset that could stand against it. It’s funny that just a year after Nvidia tried it for the first time, now all major chipset manufacturers use dual DDR in its chipsets including Intel, Via and SIS. That’s why it deserves the gold award, we believe.
