Taipei, November. 27, 2003 --- Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), a leading supplier of core logic products, announced that the outstanding SiS655TX chipsets have been widely recognized and adopted by global well-known motherboard manufactures such as ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Elitegroup Computer Systems, Giga-Byte Technology. They are all ready to launch their world-class motherboard products featuring the SiS655TX chipsets.

Michael Chen, President and CEO of SiS said: "SiS655TX provides the supreme performance for the Intel® platform. It not only adopts the latest Advanced hyperStreaming™ Engine technology by SiS, but also equips the world-unique Dual Channel Architecture, that ensures the maximization of memory resources for PC users."

Flexible Dual Channel Memory Architecture
The SiS655TX employs an extremely flexible dual-channel memory 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 SiS655TX, users have free selection of memory modules to upgrade without limitations in module specifications, a great benefit for both mainstream and power users seeking upgrade and performance enhancements on Intel® Pentium® 4 platforms.

Exclusive Advanced HyperStreaming™ Engine Technology
Advanced HyperStreaming™ Engine technology, delivering even higher overall performance in comparison with HSE technology, supports the SiS655TX to offer the advanced intelligent data processing that maintains the best resource utilization across multiple operating environments. Advanced Stream Forwarding Acceleration technology breaks through the bottleneck of the traditional PC architecture wherein data transfer is limited by the need for synchronized streams. Hence, a significant decrease in time for signal transmission processing and latency is achieved to simultaneously improve both computer performance and efficiency.

ASUS P4S800D-E
The outstanding design of the Asus P4S800D-E motherboard has created new levels of stability and performance for dual-channel motherboards. The P4S800D-E motherboard employs SiS655TX as the Northbridge chipset, SiS964 as the Southbridge chipset, and the SiS180 as Serial ATA controller. In addition, the P4S800D-E supports the Asus Wi-Fi@Home platform. After pairing with two DDR400 memory modules, memory bandwidth is synchronizes with the P4 processor in perfection. By supporting a quad Serial ATA bus RAID configuration, two IEEE1394 ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports, the P4S800D-E motherboard offers unsurpassed bandwidth for high-speed data transfer.

ECS SP2 Extreme The ECS SP2 Extreme motherboard utilizes SiS655TX and SiS964 chipsets, supports Intel® 800MHz FSB and the leading AHSE technology. SP2 Extreme provides unprecedented performance and speed across multiple computing environments. SP2 Extreme offers 8 USB 2.0 serial ports to fully satisfied the users' need in peripheral expansion. Furthermore, the C-Media 9739A chipset provides 6-channel audio output and Digital SPDIF output, providing customers with more alternatives for quality products.
