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.

    I agree with #17 i want some Uli board review.

    I have been installing Asrock K8 Combo-Z, K8Upgrade-1689 or 939A8X-M and all look good.

    I'm all in favor of moving away from the legacy ports, but is this a new trend to put radiators and shrouds where the parallel/serial ports used to reside?

    BTW, what IS with that yellow shroud on the Elitegroup board?

    So when are we going to get a review of a ULi based motherboard? Anandtech has hinted at good things...

    Yeah, that new external uGuru looks like a cheap Atomic clock. I saw one just like it at Walgreens the other day, lol.

    I have been told by Jetway as of June 8 2005 that the A210GDAG-Pro motherboard will not be available in the USA. The A210GDMS-Pro (uAtx version) is available thru Newegg.

    Hasn't it been proven heatspreaders are usually a waste of time anyway? Isn't the best way to cool these things, good airflow. When I say usually I mean on your mid-high end DDR400 DIMMs, not on the ultra-fast 3.6V stuff.

    Guys, that diamond was a good heat conductor was news to me but that carbon fibre should be is very surprising. "Carbon" as a conductor per se does not mean anything because the particular allotrope will determine physical and other properties. The fibres are made of graphite sheets which are very *poor* conductors of heat (I remember holding graphite in blue bunsen flames and feeling nothing). I presume Geil knows what it is doing but am nevertheless surprised that carbon fibre should not insulate (maybe it dissipates heat very effectively though?).

    Anyone have any experience with Jetway? Their uATX Radeon Express board has Azalia whatever sound with 32MB on board memory with 4 dimms for a 939 socket athlon and a reliable ULi southbridge instead of the buggy ATI ones. Not bad for $95. No gbe though, but big deal.

    I wonder if that little net box 500mhz 1 watt machine is running an AMD Geode.
