Chaintech Summit 7NIF2 (nForce 2)

Not everyone can afford the top end hardware but everyone still wants good performance. To that end, Chaintech supplied us with their budget nForce2 motherboard, the Summit Series 7NIF2. The nForce2 chipset comes in two different designs, the SPP and the IGP. The basic difference between these two is the integrated graphics controller. The SPP is designed to be a pure performance chipset while the IGP with it's integrated graphics can be billed more of an all-in-one combo board. The Chaintech 7NIF2 board that we have here today is based on the IGP chipset with the integrated graphics. Now before you say "awwww crap" and go away, nVidia designed the integrated graphics processor to the GeForce4 MX400 video performance. It also includes an AGP 8x slot should you decide to add in a separate graphics card, so the performance of the board shouldn't be lacking.
