NVIDIA: nForce4 SLI Mainboards In Mass Production Now ++ 1st PCI Express Mainboards For AMD64 May Emerge In Days

Despite of the reports on necessity to redesign mainboards based on NVIDIA’s nForce4 SLI chipset, NVIDIA Corp. says there are hardly any problems with the products’ time-to-market and at least some of such platforms will hit the shelves in December with a model from ASUSTeK possible to arrive shortly from now. “We haven’t heard of any of our partners having to “re-design” their mainboards. I am not sure how or why those rumors get started in the first place,” said Bryan Del Rizzo, Platform Products PR Manager for NVIDIA Corp. in Santa Clara, California.

A report over X-bit labs submitted on Monday based on stories from Asian web-sites claimed that some mainboard makers had to redesign their NVIDIA nForce4 SLI-based mainboards and only then initiate mass-production of such products, which would have affected availability dates for the platforms. However, it seems that at least three mainboard companies – ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte Technology – are not going to delay their product launches because of redesign issues.

“From my perspective, it looks like ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte will all have SLI certified boards available in December as they are all in mass-production. System builders are queuing up for their pre-order demands too, now that they have boards to test and validate,” Mr. Del Rizzo added.
