10-way nForce2 Ultra400 mainboard comparison at THG

"The nForce2 chipset has been on the market for just under a year. The version under scrutiny today, which boasts the suffix "Ultra 400," is a little more powerful than before and, in addition, supports all FSB clock rates, starting with 100 MHz for the Duron right up to 200 MHz for the Barton core. The FSB operates in the dual data rate mode, which effectively doubles the transfer rate and therefore explains its name - Ultra 400."

Boards compared are:

Abit NF7-S (rev 2)
AOpen AK79D-400Max
Asus A7N8X 2.0 Deluxe
DFI LanParty NFII Ultra
Epox EP-8RDA3+
Gigabyte GA-7NNXP
Leadtek K7NCR18D Pro 2
MSI K7N2 Delta
Shuttle Spacewalker AN35N-Ultra
Soltek SL75-FRN2

. . . along with Shuttle's small-form-factor: Spacewalker XPC-SN45G
