October 14, 2003, Taipei – Silicon Integrated Systems Corp., the leading supplier of core logic products, today announced the release of the SiS655FX chipset featuring flexible dual-channel DRAM architecture and full support for 800 MHz FSB. Set to reach consumer markets in October, the SiS655FX is widely recognized by customers for it's outstanding performance and has already been adopted in various dual-channel motherboard products.
The SiS655FX employs an extremely flexible dual-channel system architecture that supports all types and capacities of memory modules while retaining full dual-channel functions at a memory bandwidth up to 6.4 GB/s. With the SiS655FX, users have free selection of memory modules to upgrade without limitations in module specifications, a bonus for both mainstream and power users seeking upgrade and performance enhancements on Intel Pentium 4 platforms. "Dual-channel DDR400 and 800 MHz FSB architectures have greatly expanded the value and applicability of the mainstream computer market," stated Michael Chen, President and CEO of SiS. The SiS655FX is designed to provide the most flexible support for multiple specification configurations, making this an exciting solution with today's fastest processors." Motherboard manufacturers including AOpen, Asus, ECS, and Gigabyte are offering a number of products incorporating the SiS655FX solution to pc users right now. Gerald Wang, Senior Director of the AOpen Inc. Motherboard Division, said, "AOpen always selects the most durable and reliable components for its products to guarantee users a stable and reliable operating environment. The outstanding performance of the AC45F-4D Max dual-channel motherboard distinguishes itself as the most competitive product in the performance market. The AX45F-4D Max employs AOpen's unique SilentTek technology and the Hercules PCI technology that solves traditional PCI interface loading problems. In addition, four Serial ATA buses and eight USB 2.0 ports give the AX45F-4D Max motherboard a superior user-friendly interface.” For more information about AX45F-4D Max Jerry Shen, Vice President at ASUSTeK Computer Inc., indicated, "Dual-channel motherboards gain significant speed and extended bandwidth. The outstanding design of the Asus P4S800D Deluxe motherboard has created new levels of stability and performance for dual-channel motherboards. The P4S800D Deluxe motherboard employs the SiS655FX as Northbridge chipset, SiS964 as Southbridge chipset, and the SiS180 Serial ATA controller. In addition, the P4S800D Deluxe supports the Asus Wi-Fi@Home platform. After pairing with two DDR400 memory modules, memory bandwidth is fully in synchronization with the P4 processor. By supporting a quad Serial ATA bus RAID configuration, two IEEE1394 ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports, the P4S800D Deluxe motherboard offers unsurpassed bandwidth for high speed data transfer." For more information about P4S800D Deluxe Mike Chou, Senior Vice President of the Elitegroup Computer Systems Product Marketing Division, said:” Elitegroup is pleased to announce the SP1 motherboard that supports the Intel® Pentium®4 800MHz FSB CPU with its new advanced 800MHz FSB interface. The SP1 also features an AGP 8x interface; dual LAN and IEEE 1394; and up to 4 serial ATA ports, each running at 150MB/s. In addition, the SP1 motherboard pairs with four DDR DIMM sockets for dual channel DDR400 memory with the total bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s, which provides unprecedented performance and speed.” For more information about SP1 David Chiang, General Manager of Channel Business of Giga-Byte Technology, explained: "Through Multiple Streams with Pipelining and Concurrent Execution technology convergences, we are finally seeing comprehensive improvements in overall motherboard performance breaking of the bandwidth barrier. The GA-8S655FX Ultra motherboard continues Giga-byte's excellence functionality and design capabilities in the powerful dual-channel architecture." The GA-8S655FX Ultra motherboard integrates high-speed Serial ATA and Ethernet interface to provide outstanding hard disk read/write performance and network efficiency. This combination gives pc users the best dual-channel platform for their applications. For more information about GA-8S655FX
