GPU frequency remains the same, TV-Out is removed, and there are fewer PCI Express lanes. Functions of nForce 410 were transferred to Northbridge with minimum reductions in functionality (one PATA channel instead of two). This family was supplemented last Autumn with a single-chip version of GeForce 6100. But following the common trend, the updated revision of nForce 430 has only one channel.
PATA support has been initially standard (two channels for four devices). That's good, because manufacturers of cheap motherboards don't have a chance to save on the audio codec. They initially supported AC’97 as well, but nForce 430 Southbridges (provided since August)support only HD Audio. nForce 430 has a MAC Gigabit Ethernet with widely known NVIDIA Active Armour (a firewall that can process TCP/IP traffic on the chipset level), nForce 410 offers Fast Ethernet without additional functions. nForce 410 supports only two ports, hence only RAID 0 and 1. nForce 430 Southbridge supports four SATA-II, which can form RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and 5. Southbridge is connected via the standard bus - 16 bit HT bus operating at up to 1 GHz (maximum frequency is used as a rule, but as this bandwidth is excessive, it can be limited in BIOS by a motherboard manufacturer you can often reduce the frequency and capacity manually). The intriguing name NVIDIA Quadro NVS 210S is given to a complete copy of the GeForce 6150, which frequency is reduced to the level of GeForce 6100, certified according to AMD Commercial Stable Image Platform requirements. GeForce 6100 lacks these features, it got a simple TV-Out only in August 2006 in its new revision. GeForce 6150 also supports DVI output, hardware acceleration of HD Video decoding. GPU of the top model operates at 475 MHz, the cheapest model works at 425 MHz. Other differences are provided by the graphics core. Northbridge is responsible for PCI-Express bus - there is one graphical PCI Express x16 slot and one (GeForce 6100) or two (GeForce 6150) PCIEx1 slots. The chipset scheme hardly needs to be explained here, motherboards based on this chipset are already well known to users. Another reason for writing this article is the new cut-down models, implemented in a single chip, that appeared last autumn (such motherboards have just started to appear in stores). The result of all that is that I had a perfectly working system with windows 8.1 and now I have a Windows 10 that I cannot activate unless I pay $249 and I would also have to reinstall all my applications.Ĭould somebody tell me If there is a way to rollback to Win 8.Better late than never! We decided to bring to a conclusion (this very article) our tests of integrated chipsets from NVIDIA. Now I tried to do the rollback, but the command for that does not appear in the list in parameters window.
NVIDIA GEFORCE 6150SE NFORCE 430 REVIEWS UPGRADE
I contacted Microsoft and I was told that must rollback to Windows 8.1 and do the upgrade from there.
Even though I had paid for windows 8 and it was a perfectly legal copy.
NVIDIA GEFORCE 6150SE NFORCE 430 REVIEWS INSTALL
But what I did amounted to a clean install and all my old installation was saved in a folder named Windows.old.Īlso when I tried to activate Windows 10, I got a message saying that I must now pay $249 to get a key. The upgrade worked perfectly and the the video card is working just right. Unfortunately I followed that advice and did just that and I am very sorry now.

I made a search on internet and found that I could upgrade by loading the last drivers from Nvidia and upgrading from a DVD.
NVIDIA GEFORCE 6150SE NFORCE 430 REVIEWS UPDATE
Trying to update from Win 8.1 to Win 10, I got a message from MS saying that my video card was not compatible with windows 10.
