According to the newest NVIDIA core logic roadmap, the nForce 500 series chipsets based on the MCP55 controller includes plans for an nForce 590, 570, 550 and SLI variations. nForce 590 will be the highest performance NVIDIA chipset for AMD AM2 and Intel Socket 775. It will be a two chip package until the company's first single core NVIDIA MCP61 chipset arrives. The chipset will be specifically tweaked for SLI and Quad SLI and feature a new technology called "Link Boost." Link Boost will offer increased bandwidth between GPU and MCP if the system uses NVIDIA-only components. Currently, only the 90nm GeForce series graphic cards will support Link Boost, but future high end cards will as well. The nForce 590 SLI, 570 SLI and 570 Ultra chipsets also features new network options or "FirstPacket" and "teaming" when using the integrated dual LAN. NVIDIA also confirms that there will be high definition audio with nForce 590, but there's not a word about SoundStorm2. The official launch date of the MCP55 lineup is on May 23, 2006, for both Intel Conroe and AMD AM2 motherboards.

Hmmmm.... I'd very much like to know whether REALLY nV takes advantage of until know unknown ways how to boost inter-component "communication" or, rather, deliberatly slows down non-nV components to force people into buying nV-only-systems...
it's really the consumer who suffers when the big companies try to force their products down his throat rather than have him buying the best parts no matter who made them (this could very well be a nVidia GPU and a VIA chipset board, or a crossfire setup and a nVidia mainboard...but let the consumer choose!).

If that turns out to be true, my next motherboard choice won't be nVidia.

That's not possible.
If nV LinkBoost didn't improve an nV card's performance, and was actually slowing down non-nV components, then we would notice straight away.
nV cards would give the same performance with non-nV chipsets (instead of being slower).
ATi cards would perform much better with non-nV chipsets (instead of being the same).
