nVidia announed the launch of the 6100 chipset that will provide integrated graphics on the AMD64 platform. This was the only missing block on their chipset lineup and will now compete directly with the RS480 from ATI. They also have brought in Azalia audio for excellent sound quality. Looks like nVidia have this round of chipset wars wrapped up. And i bet this will be a big hit in India if priced right. Should be the death for the crappy solutions from Via and Sis that have been dominating the market here, as the only reason was they saved money for the extra graphics card needed when buying a nForce motherboard.

Mods plz correct the spelling.

NVIDIA announced today the introduction of an Integrated Graphics chipset for the AMD Athlon 64 processor. The GeForce 6100, the new NVIDIA chipset, brings a number of firsts to the market. According to NVIDIA:

The GeForce 6100 series is the first 90nm GPU to hit the market.
The nForce 400 series Southbridges, which are combined with the 6100 Northbridge, are the first NVIDIA chips to support Azalia (HD Audio).
The GeForce 6100 is the first to support high-definition video while still providing customers the ability to offer component-out, composite-out and S-Video-out jacks right on the backplane.
First UMA (memory sharing) solution to support both DirectX 9.0 and Shader Model 3.
Optimized for digital media applications such as Daz Studio and Pinnacle Studio 10, along with mainstream games such as Sims2 and Lego Star Wars.
Boards are all micro-ATX, and many manufacturers plan living room/convergence boxes that look more like video/hifi components than computers.
