NForce4 is no more, here's the NForce 570SLI

The great and the good along with the humble and irrelevant in IT will then spend a week elbowing each other out of the way in order to slobber over the latest kit.

Somehow our Charlie has snuck in a day early and has been snapping stuff like there's no tomorrow. Those having to attend, rather than enjoy Charlie's pix from the comfort of their own home/office, can draw some consolation from the fact that Charlie is a pretty naff photographer. [Ed.]

THERE ARE LOTS of NVidia AM2 SLI mobos running around the show floor. Take for instance this Foxconn one, it was the first I found.

Then I ran into a Gigabyte GA-MXE-S4 mobo. This one is powered by the unannounced NForce 570SLI chipset. Oooh, bet you didn't realize that one was coming. The cards are a standard 7900GTX/512.

Last we came across the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe mobo, also running an AM2 chip with SLI and the NForce 570SLI chipset. I guess we are going to be in for a rash of 570 announcements. In fact, guess what the series of the NForce4 successor will be called?
