Product Specification
1. Lately, Intel has just announced their new LGA775 CPU, and their new gerenation Chipset as well. Has SiS come out with any plan to deal with it?
 

As a market leader, SiS always wants to bring the latest technologies to all PC users as soon as we can. SiS has announced the latest Northbridge Chipset, SiS656, supporting LGA775 CPU and PCI Express x16. During this Computex2004, we had showcased several SiS-based motherboards from SiS and our customers supporting LGA775 CPU, and we even had a live demo platform of the SiS656 with a LGA775 CPU. And all the visitors and media were shocked by the great performance brought by SiS656 and LGA775 CPU. Please see here for more detail.

Besides SiS656, SiS648FX, SiS661FX, SiS655FX and SiS655TX can also support LGA775 CPU. SiS will keep rolling out more new products with latest technologies for all the users.



2. It seems like PCI Express will be the most important new spec for the PC industry. But besides new generation Graphics Cards, what other peripheral devices can be used with PCI Express?
  Due to the huge data input/output transmission needed by the new generation graphics cards, we need more data transmission bandwidth to enjoy excellent graphic performance. And PCI Express is just the answer to this question. On the other hand, because of the bigger bandwidth, PCI-E is also the best solution for other applications, like broadband Internet, sound effect processing, external storage devices etc.

Especially for broadband internet, Gigabit Ethernet will be the next mainstream trend of network applications, but traditional PCI may not be able to perfectly fulfill the need of huge amounts of data flow, therefore, SiS’ latest SB chipset, SiS965, with PCI-E X1 interface is the best solution for Gigabit Ethernet. Furthermore, with an embedded MAC on chip, the SiS965 can even provide “Dual Gigabit Ethernet” by adding another Gigabit Ethernet card on the PCI-Ex1 slot provided by SiS965. That’s definitely a revolutionary feature for all network users. You may know more details about SiS965 by reading this PR: SiS Launches First PCI Express Southbridge--SiS965
