Conclusions
From an application performance standpoint, the nForce2 Ultra 400Gb doesn't bring anything particularly new or exciting to the table. The chipset was slower than VIA's KT880 in most of our application tests, but scores were nearly even across the board. However, the field wasn't nearly as tight in our peripheral performance tests, where the Ultra 400Gb demonstrated spectacular Gigabit Ethernet throughput, low CPU utilization for USB transfers, and impressive Serial ATA performance. The Ultra 400Gb's peripheral performance wasn't perfect; the chipset was plagued by high CPU utilization for GigE transfers and audio playback.
