![]() ![]() In many ways, the nForce 700 series is identical to the 600 series that preceded it. That refresh comes in the form of the nForce 700 series, led by the flagship nForce 780i SLI. Motherboard makers could respin their nForce 600-series designs with the necessary changes, but the nForce 600 series is more than a year old now, so it’s due for a refresh anyway. The incompatibility runs deeper than what can be addressed with a simple BIOS update, as well-a board-level circuit change is required. You see, while nForce 600-series chipsets are compatible with Intel’s latest Penryn-based CPUs, current motherboard implementations are not. If you want to combine one of Intel’s swanky new 45nm processors with an SLI multi-GPU graphics configuration, there’s a problem.
