Back on August 10th, NVIDIA announced that it had updated its industry-leading nForce4 SLI chipset with the introduction of the nForce4 SLI x16. The biggest news to come from that announcement was the fact that Dell snapped up the Intel version of the nForce4 SLI x16 chipset for its top of the line XPS system.

Unlike all other nForce4 chipset solutions, nForce4 SLI x16 uses a North and South Bridge combination. The North Bridge is similar to the one used in the nForce 410/430 boards, codenamed C51. The nForce 410/430 boards use the C51G North Bridge, which includes integrated graphics in the form of GeForce 6100 or GeForce 6150.

In contrast, the AMD version of nForce4 SLI x16 uses the C51D chip for the North Bridge, which goes by the name of nForce SPP 100. As far as we're aware, it's basically the same as the C51G North Bridge, minus the integrated graphics portion of it. It features 18 PCI-Express lanes with 16 of those used for the primary PCI-Express x16 slot.
