RooK Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 SiS has just released it's newest chipset for AMD, the 746. In the test performed by OCworkbench with an ECS board, it out performed the Kt400 hands down and came very close to the Nf2 in many areas and beat it in a couple of test. It was even overclocked to a stable 191fsb, but has limited options in bios with the exception of 1fsb increments. On another note, MSI just announced their board with the same chipset. We should be seeing reviews of it in a few days hopefully. The SiS 746 chipset features support for- AGP 8X USB 2.0 IEEE 1394 6 Channel Audio DDR400 UltraDMA 133/100/66 Links: ECS L7S7A2 Review MSI 746F News Release SiS 746 Chipset Info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ranger Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Interesting news there. Didn't think SiS was ever going to catch up with Via and nForce... Looking forward to the reviews on this chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooK Posted February 1, 2003 Author Share Posted February 1, 2003 Well, they've been a great competitor in the P4 chipset market, but their only real competition was Intel. Now it seems they've finally decided to make a decent socket a chipset and it is now on my 'to get list'. Especially when I saw the webpage for Iwill's mb stating you can lock the agp/pci at 66/33mhz allowing you to overclock fsb more. That was one of the nforce2's main selling points for enthusiast! Plus, being SiS, they'll probably debut in the $70-80 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
