  Itt van angolul a 400 UltraGB ''hardver-optimalizációs'' tűzfalának leírása, gondolom ezen az elven fog működni az nForce 3-as is:
  
  ''hardware-optimized'' firewall — The nForce2 Ultra 400Gb brings NVIDIA's new firewall feature to Socket A. NVIDIA claims that the firewall leverages hardware inside the MCP2-Gb to achieve lower CPU utilization than software-only firewalls. However, we were unable to pin them down, during repeated questioning, about exactly which firewall functions are accelerated in hardware. One purported benefit of the firewall's hardware roots is that it's activated as soon as a machine is powered on, protecting a system before the OS, drivers, and other software even loads. (Currently, there's a small gap between when Windows XP networking starts and Windows' built-in firewall begin filtering. However, that gap will apparently be eliminated with Service Pack 2's new Internet Connection Firewall.)
  NVIDIA says it has put lots of effort into creating an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that is both simple enough for Joe Sixpack to understand and powerful enough to give enthusiasts plenty of tweaking control. For the uninitiated, the firewall's web interface offers a number of pre-defined security profiles and wizards to walk users through common tasks like opening up ports for IM programs, game servers, and the like. Security enthusiasts who eschew wizards and profiles may appreciate the firewall's ICSA Labs certification, and its support for stateless and stateful inspections, port blocking and filtering, remote administration, DHCP blocking, and protection against spoofing, sniffing and ARP cache poisoning.
  NVIDIA says it's working with developers to make third-party firewall software take advantage of the Gb's hardware firewall hooks.
