clutch 1 Posted May 1, 2002 SOYO P4S Dragon Ultra, uses the SiS 645 chipset and I have a Northwood 1.6a running at 2.4GHz at stock voltage and stock HSF. It runs quite well. I had been debating over getting it or the ASUS (using the i845D chipset) and I probably would have picked up the Intel had the SOYO not been immediately available. But, overall the SOYO/SiS combo has been pretty nice. Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted May 1, 2002 Don't know if this will help, but these guys at this message board really mix it up when talking about Sis Via and Intel. You might want to read their comments: http://bbs.pcstats.com/intelzone/ Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted May 2, 2002 clutch, why u saying "quite well" ? Im still confused whether to get a Gigabyte 8SRX or an ASUS P4B266 (or P4S333/533). The Gigabyte has a very cool feature, which locks the AGP/PCI bus speeds when u overclock the FSB.... Share this post Link to post
JP- 0 Posted May 2, 2002 Thats really a feature of intel chipsets rather than the board, as far as i know the abit and epox ones also do this. btw had fun playing cs with ya palos ill pop in again sometime Share this post Link to post

Also, I could have sworn that it has the same AGP/PCI bus lock feature as well, but I haven't been in the BIOS in a while (no need to). Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted May 3, 2002 Carbine, that is a feature of the BIOS, not of the Intel chipset. Look at the Epox 4BDA (i845D) and the Gigabyte 8SRX (SIS645)...both have it, but different chipsets. C$ rulz Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted May 3, 2002 You could look at the decision by INtel to let SIS make p4 chipsets legally and not VIa as a sign of their confidence they can make a great alternative for the P4 Share this post Link to post
