Surprisingly, there seems to be very few previews of this chipset on the web.  Even today, the day after it was released publicly.  I'm not sure why that is.  I don't recall a time that a new chipset release was so quiet as such as this one.  I think the one thing that may be holding things back is the fact this new chipset adds a lot of new features, but not the giant performance gains the market and enthusiasts want.  [H]ard|OCP has posted about some of the impending prowess of the overclocking abilities of

Although the feature set may still reign with the nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset, it seems VIA's next Socket A chipset, the KT880, may in fact outperform the aging Ultra 400 chipset from nVidia.  Beating nVidia's chipset in most application benchmarks is not exactly easy, but it does say that VIA is not done with Socket A and I suspect niether is nVidia. 

At the end of the day, the KT880 is a faster and generally more capable chipset than the nForce2 Ultra 400.
