I did research on that when i made the list. You can find nForce 2 boards with SATA ports provied by the southbridge like the Gigabyte GA-7N400S. The original nForce 4 and the 4X varaint had only SATA 150 support. All other and newer nForce 4 variants featured SATA II
Interesting - I never heard of SATA southbridges on the nForce2 before, but I see now that you're right. Apparently that's even what the "-S" stands for, I was mixing up "MCP-S" with the MCP-T.
I remember trying a NAS benchmark with an nForce2 board and getting pretty lackluster results thanks to both SATA and Gigabit ethernet being on PCI. That MCP-S southbridge would have solved half of that problem at least.
