SiS Features AMD and Intel PCIe Solutions Supporting Dual-Core

Chipset-maker ULI was receiving huge exposure at Computex, mostly because of their partnership with ATI in the Crossfire platform. However, SiS was also showing new chipsets with great potential in today's market. Since many manufacturers expressed disappointment that VIA's chipsets still don't support dual-core processors, SiS was featuring their own support of dual core in all their new chipsets.

    Thanks, I see.

    So carbon is a good electrical insulator, but also a good thermal conductor.

    good news to hear that abit is out of trouble

    but what the hell is going on with their guru clock?
    looks ugly as hell

    the 5.25" one in an older article (with the bios nuke button) was nice but not this new external one

    Correct about the diamonds.

    However, such little carbon is really not going to affect the thermals of the system. Besides, even if it transfers heat well, there still has to be surface area of the heat to dissapate.

    No. Carbon is an excellent conductor of heat. It's the reason why diamond is the best conductor of heat in the world - it is very densely-packed carbon..or something like that.

    Wouldn't the carbon fibre act as an insulator?

    well, personally i fancy the corsair led RAMs, but even MORE Important to me is the last pace MINI PC...

    ...i'm currently looking for a SILENT FANLESS PC; should be reasonably powered, can be a MINI PC, better if it has at least a 3 5'25" slots space so that i can put a 5 SATA bloc on it.

    anybody able to give directions ?

    =)

    THANKS

    500mhz@1w, windows ce... sounds awfully like the craptastic AMD PIC. Though I must admit, it looks a lot more interesting in a decent-looking box

    that red foxconn mini-system is an eyesore.

    How comes even though the Geil RAM is running at DDR2-1066, it's still only through-putting 2896MB/s - pretty low isn't it for such fast RAM (I'm aware of the timings, but still)...
