I have tge MSI K8N Platnium, and the firewall makes the connection stop working. And it only works with windows. | |

| | yeah right i think nvidia should just stick to makeing video cards. if i wanted a fire wall, i would (and have) just buy a router and a software firewall. nvidia should stick to what there good at, which is video cards. maybe the next thing they will try is an OS  . maybe they will call it nTAKE (as in more money  ). stick to what you know people. | |

1 edit | Re: yeah right said by one_bored_si:Correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't active armor on the Neo2 Platinum boards as well. I think the main ideas is that it would be built into the chip and be more readily available to everyone with that chip instead of a single motherboard model.

I think nVidia is good at making chips... And they do stick to that. Other companies buy their chips oem and make the boards. | |

Apparently they know motherboards too, because they make the best chipsets for AMD by a long shot. | |

| Re: yeah right Currently running an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum and I'm still discovering features I didn't know it had....
I disabled the firewall while I work on getting it stable, but I like Nvidia's motherboards. I remember there were a lot of raised eyebrows when they first came out, but I think they've proven themselves to make a great product.... | |
|
| | | | | | | | | Re: yeah right hmm, Karl I have the MSI K8N Neo, I have no use for firewire ports. The only thing I don't like is the realtech sound. Also I just started messing with the firewall function last week. I still have not installed digicell to overclock YET. I say yet, since I have the koolance case, with waterblocks on the CPU and CHIPSET. I am also running the BFG 6800 GT OC. This rig is super sweet. Cas2 ram, and I did bump the FSB to 450. I got screenshots in COD/UO hitting 400+ FPS. This weekend I might 0 raid 2 SATA drives. I am going to hook up another computer as a server next week, then let the chipset work as the switch. I was worried about the water, but enough time has passed since I pieced it all together, now I want to make it sweat a little. I will not buy ATI or INTEL ever again. | |
|
| | | | | | | | | | Re: yeah right Digicell is nice to monitor temps I guess, but I think you can also overclock via Bios, so I'm not sure of its full use.... | |

kudos:3 | Your statement would have had validity back when nVidia first got into chipsets. In fact I felt pretty much the same way you do now. But they have proven that they have a stable product that works. Are you seriously telling me that you would rather have a Via or SiS chipset for an AMD based system?

Well have fun waiting. Nvidia also doesn't make video cards. They make reference designs and chipsets, but not video cards. | |

Nvidia makes great chipset and ATi might as well to when they get up to speed.

kudos:1 | Re: Long featured ?? I built myself a system a couple years ago and it has nForce2 chipset and obviously no firewall. I guess "long", as in "time", is different when speaking about computer stuff. I'm sure my nForce2, AMD 2500 Athlon is "obsolete" to many people...
That said, I only follow and research this stuff when I'm in the market for myself. There could be nForce8 chipsets for all I know...  | |

| | | | | | Firewall As stated earlier, they don't make the motherboard, just to make that clear again, as far as the firewall it came out with the NF3 250GB chipset, little over a year ago I suppose. | |

Try »www.nvidia.com/page/search.html?···Firewall for Nvidia's collection of articles (and unfortunately press releases) on the Nvidia firewall(s). Seems to go back at least to the NForce3 250 in early 2004.

| | You have to use NIS to make it work When I first read about the Nforce 4's built in hardware firewall I was pretty excited. Then I found out that you need Norton Internet Security to make it work. Having to use Norton Bloatware is a non-starter for me. | |
|
| | | Re: You have to use NIS to make it work Where did you hear that?
It works just fine for me without any Norton Software. Just install the mobo drivers and it works. | |

Reston, VA | Negatory, Norton software is not required in any way, shape, or form to use the Nvidia firewall. I've been using NIS/NPF since they first appeared on the market (still have it running on the old Win 98 SE box); it's not on the new machine.
