Specially, it gets the "classical" nForce2 Ultra 400 NB but with the nForce2 Gigabit MCP SB. > FW/IEEE1394A is controlled by a VIA VT6307 chip > Gigabit Ethernet pass throught the south bridge and has a PHY made by Cicada : model CIS8201. At the date of february 2005 it works as an 10/100 ethernet card thanks to the "forcedeth" drivers. Gigabit is being implemented after Nvidia gave out some tech specs. -- Here is some of the output given by lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

The nvidia-agp module manages the NB. I've set up sound with alsa : i have to load the snd-intel8x0 module to make it work. As said before "forcedeth" does the work nicely as far as you don't need the full potential of the GbE. I haven't benchmarked the USB ports, but they take my usb key with the ehci-hcd module. I'm waiting for the really new and fast SATA HDD to test the "SiI 3114" and "NFORCE2-U400R" drivers.
