The SiS655TX features an AGP 8X bridge, and Dual-Channel DDR400 Memory controller, supporting Pentium® 4 FSB up to 800MHz. The SiS655TX, via the second-generation 1GB/s Multi-threaded I/O link, interconnects the SiS964 Media I/O that integrates one EHCI compliant USB 2.0 host controller, 3 OHCI compliant USB 1.1 host controllers, the SATA 150 controller, the ATA-133 dual IDE controller, AC'97 v2.3 compliant audio controller, and the Fast Ethernet MAC controller with standard MII interfaced.
The SiS655TX Host Interface features the AGTL & AGTL+ compliant bus driver technology with integrated on-die termination to support Intel® Pentium® 4 series processors with FSB up to 800MHz. The AGP interface supports external AGP slot with AGP 4X/8X capability and Fast Write Transactions. The SiS655TX incorporates the second-generation 1GB/s MuTIOL® interface to bridge the SiS964 Media I/O. SiS MuTIOL® technology is developed into three layers, namely the MuTIOL® transaction layer, MuTIOL® link layer, and the MuTIOL® physical layer.
The SiS655TX Dual-Channel Memory Controller, being the best Pentium® 4 chipset in the worldwide that delivers 6.4 GB/s bandwidth way adequate and satisfactory to the 800MHz Pentium® 4 FSB bandwidth demand of 6.4GB/s, absolutely brings out the best performance of each other, and still has a lot to spare for the multi-I/O masters, and AGP masters. |
