Nuovi drivers x NForce2 non vanno su Asus e Chaintech

[fvbarc]

mi sto informando un pò...
ed ho visto che sono usciti i nuovi drivers sul sito nvidia, ma dice:
Notes

Windows XP users must install Service Pack 1 prior to attempting to install this package. Failure to do so will result in the inability to support USB 2.0 and NVIDIA IDE drivers.
Audio drivers will not install on the following nForce2 products: ASUS A7N8X and Chaintech 7NJS. Please use the drivers that come with these products to enable audio functionality.
USB keyboards and/or mice will be disabled during the installation of this package. Please connect PS2 devices before starting the installation process.
Mi spiegate il motivo?

ovvio perché asus e chaintech non usano il sistema audio integrato Soundstorm, ma usano il chip separato (della C-media se non erro).

SoundStorm™ / Dolby® Digital Audio (Deluxe Model)

Experience the full power of surround sound audio with the NVIDIA® SoundStorm™. With the integrated APU (Audio Processing Unit) you will feel the impact in games or music. And with the only Dolby® Digital 5.1 encoder you can hear it all in amazing digital cinema clarity on your home theater receiver or digital PC speaker system.


Dual-Channel DDR400 Support

The 128-bit TwinBank DDR Memory architecture doubles the DDR 400 (PC3200) bandwidth. System bottlenecks are eliminated with balanced architecture and peak bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s.


Serial ATA Technology (Deluxe Model)

Serial ATA is the next generation ATA specification that provides scalable performance for today and tomorrow. With up to 150MB/s data transfer rate, Serial ATA is faster than current Parallel ATA, while providing 100% software compatibility.


Dual LAN (optional)

Integrated 3Com® and NVIDIA® LAN controllers lets users access broadband via one LAN port and share the Internet connection with network neighborhood via the other LAN port. ( 3Com LAN is for Deluxe Model Only)


ASUS C.O.P (CPU Overheating Protection)

ASUS C.O.P (CPU Overheating Protection) is a hardware protection circuit that automatically shuts down the system power before temperatures go high enough to permanently damage your CPU.


6-Channel Audio

The A7N8X uses an onboard Realtek® ALC650 audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.

il modello deluxe dovrebbe usare il soundstorm nvidia, però è strano il fatto che il modello normale non lo usi. eppure dovrebbe essere tutto integrato nel southbridge!
