Nvidia nForce 600
nForce 600 is a family of PC chipsets from Nvidia for AMD's AMD-K8 , AMD-K9 and K10 processors as well as Intel's Pentium 4 / D , Celeron / D and Core 2 processors .
AMD K8 / K9 / K10 series
The chipsets of this series are suitable for all processors of the AMD-K8 , AMD-K9 and AMD-K10 series .
development
The nForce 600a series for AMD is a revised version of the nForce 500a series .
Models
There are the following variants:
- nForce 630a
- nForce 680a SLI
The nForce 630a has an integrated graphics unit . Since two different graphics units are used, this variant is divided into two different models. The nForce 630a chipset is considered to be one of the most economical and successful chipsets of its time. It has been in production for over 11 years (as of February 2018).
The nForce 680a SLI was specially developed for AMD Quad FX and offers four PEG slots . The chipset itself consists of two fully-fledged nForce 570 SLI chipsets and accordingly offers a wealth of connections and PCIe lanes.

Intel AGTL + bus protocol
The chipsets in this series are suitable for all Intel processors that use the AGTL + bus protocol .
development
The nForce 600i series for Intel is a revised version of the nForce 500i series .
Models
There are the following variants:
- nForce 650i Ultra
- nForce 650i SLI
- nForce 680i LT SLI
- nForce 680i SLI
The improvements include the memory controller (which has been accelerated to DDR2-800) and the integrated sound function (now HDA throughout). Furthermore, the front side bus has been accelerated to at least 266 MHz (quad-pumped, FSB1066). There is also now a version that does not support SLI. The 680i SLI also supports a third PCIe x16 slot (connected with 8 lanes), which allows the use of a third graphics card as a physics accelerator . In addition, this variant supports an FSB clock of 333 MHz (quad-pumped, FSB1333).
