The SiS 756 PCI Express Chipset For Athlon 64

**MIG-31** · Mar 21, 2005, 07:13 PM

On the heels of NVIDIA and VIA, SiS is now also offering a PCI Express chipset for the Athlon 64. The 756 offers modern features at a fair price, but is that enough to make the grade against such stiff competition?

"After a delay of a few months, Taiwanese manufacturer SiS has advanced to the starting gate with a PCI Express chipset for the Athlon 64. Athlon chipsets differ only slightly in terms of performance, as the memory controller is already integrated into the processor. The number of functions, however, keeps increasing. In view of tough competition from NVIDIA and VIA, SiS must consistently put together an appealing package that will win over manufacturers and customers alike."

Looks rather interesting.. the main point now is the price that manufacturers will sell their boards at with the chipset.
