PC Stats has posted Magic-Pro K7N-Ultra S nForce2 SPP Motherboard review



The rise of nVIDIA's nForce2 chipset as top dog among AMD chipsets has been nothing short of remarkable. So swift was the momentum of this chipset that only now are VIA and SiS catching up.... to silicon which has been around for over eight months now. That is just about a full life cycle in the computer industry. If you were to ask anyone which new AMD motherboard to get, you'd no doubt be recommended to get something using one of the nForce2 variants! There's good reason for this blatant nForce2 loving; nForce2 based motherboards are extremely fast and stable. Until the recent blip with the 2.41 and 2.42 unified drivers, nVIDIA hadn't had a any significant compatibility or driver problems. With the release of VIA's new KT600 chipset the nForce2 finally has some real competition to face up against. The competition will be tough for VIA since their chipset is hardly even battle tested, let alone proven in the minds of AMD's consumers. Knowing VIA though, they'll need to rehash the KT600 before things are done right.... you can almost bet that somewhere on the horizon there is a KT600A.
