The new Socket AM2 platform was launched in May, the big change mainly being the move to a new DDR2 memory controller as AMD has decided that the numbers for the supply of decent speed DDR2 memory are finally significant enough to warrant the move. NVIDIA, having largely won the AMD motherboard chipset segment, was naturally in the thick of the action with its latest nForce 500 series chipsets for these new AM2 processors. The Shuttle XPC SN27P2 uses a chipset from the mid-range model in the series, the nForce 570 Ultra, which thankfully has most of the useful new features like FirstPacket and DualNet technology..
