Despite a bit of
a delay at the release of the nForce2 chipset, nVidia appears to have learned their lessons well
and have not made the same mistakes twice.

Benchmarks: 3DMark2001SE
3DMark2001 SE is the latest installment in the 3DMark
series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics,
it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE has been
created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers
to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming
performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true
performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and
Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene
Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time
physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.
Well it's no surprise that the nForce2 SPP based systems
score higher with the Radeon 9700 Pro. The nForce2 IGP's score about the same as
well.
