currently as i see it the nforce 2 will have all of the options as the KT333 boards w/ the exceptions of two important ones.... the option to set your pci/agp speed (no more need for divisors cause you can manually set everything you want to) and the option to set how fast you want your memory to be running at.
these two options, if used w/ a unlocked palomino or a tbred (which come factory unlocked), will provide for absolutle CRAZY fsb speeds..... here is what i plan on doing once the Epox 8rga, which has a maximum FSB of a whopping 333mhz! (not 333mhz ddr bu actual 333mhz).... btw i was planning on getting the Abit board but no mobo holes= no good for H20
drop the mult to 7x the fsb to 250mhz=1750mhz (i have a 1600+)
set the pci/agp speed to 33/66mhz locked
now drop the ram to make it running at 75% or 188mhz only! (that is about as high as my Cas 2.5 XMS 3200 will do)...
by doint this you are essentially doing the same things that you can do on a Pentium 4 cpu and the memory will take full advantage of the cpu bandwith for some killer scores..
aww man a nforce 2 w/ a 2600+,water cooling (or even better phasechange or tec), and Corsair 3500 Cas2 memory is a pentium 4 3ghz+ Cpu destroyer!!!!!! lets not forget that nv30 also
those are just my .2cents on the board after reading a few reviews (the leadtek and asus one, which unfortunatly only will support up to a measly 200mhzfsb)..
i will be first inline to get the epox board!!!! unless it is incredibly expensive that is.... oh ya lets not forget that nvidia audio which can smoke creatives any day!
