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

Business & Content Creation Performance
The KT266A continues to hold its high ground in the Business Winstone 2001 test, outpacing both the nForce solutions. Because of the disk intensive nature of this benchmark we can only hypothesize that VIA has tweaked their latest IDE drivers a bit more in the past few weeks to ensure such solid performance here.
The same can't be said under Content Creation Winstone 2001 as the performance line between the KT266A and the nForce solutions grows blurry. All three of those chipsets perform within 1% of each other which is within the margin of error for this benchmark.
Also take note of the lack of performance difference between the nForce 420 and 220.

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.
