When we think of motherboard chipsets, NVIDIA isn't always the first that comes to mind. In fact, NVIDIA earns its stripes from their line of graphics chipsets and for good reason. I would say only the enthusiasts and OEMs among us know that NVIDIA makes a motherboard chipset known as the nForce. The first iteration of the nForce, proved itself to be a solid chipset backed by a reputable name. Although most would agree that the nForce was a good match for the AMD platform, we would also agree that it needed some improvements. Hence through an evolution, we now have the nForce2. This second generation Nforce chipset set out to improve upon what was already a stable foundation. Today we have two nForce2 boards on the test bench, the Chaintech 7NJS and the Leadtek K7NCR18D-Pro.
