NVIDIA's nForce 420/220: It's finally here

One Driver Fits All
A very attractive point of the nForce platform is that a single manufacturer will be able to provide you with driver updates for virtually every part of your system (audio, video, Ethernet, chipset). The nForce drivers we tested with were approximately 4MB zipped and contained the drivers for every part of the nForce motherboard (including Ethernet and Audio) except for the integrated GPU. For that we used NVIDIA's recently released Detonator XP drivers which detected the integrated GPU perfectly.
It's unusual seeing NVIDIA anywhere other than under Display Adapters
We had no compatibility issues with the drivers and versions will be available for 9x, Me, NT/2000 and XP.
The drivers installed this NVIDIA control panel to adjust some of the features of the APU.

Max Payne - Brings a lot of good memories from that era. Running it at 1024x768 at max quality and getting ~30 fps? Really impressive for a iGPU of that time.I remembr playing it on Pentium III 500 with ATI Radeon Pro AGP 2X 4MB. Performance was really terrible due to texture swapping .. even at 800x600.
