Goutma, <Great chip from SIS - thanks to Yahoo message board posters - looks like a killer chip (with Athlon): semibiznews.com _____________________> Thanks for posting. <The new device is aimed at the high-performance PC market segment. SiS said the chip delivers high-speed data transferring capabilities, including 56-kilobit modem, Fast Ethernet, 1/10-Mbit Home PNA and IDE ATA100. It also provides hardware DVD playback, flexible dual view display and 3-D positional audio> Looks neat. Wonder when we actually see this stuff in production. Hope this lights some fire under competing chipset vendors and they don't put Athlon chipsets behind PIII/Wilamettes. Chuck

Goutama - RE: "The new device is aimed at the high-performance PC market segment.

While they say it is aimed at the high-end PC market, I think this chipset is perfect for low cost Duron PCs. Since the north and south bridges are integraged together with a video card, modem, and other stuff, motherboards should be simple and cheap to make.
