Hi all, I have seen a comment or two on this list concering SiS chipset
pros & cons. So what do you think of the SiS chipset motherboards? Like them, don't like them? Does Linux like them or not? Thanks for your comments.
I'm not sure about the 5513, but the sis6328 AGP video chipset which comes integrated with some motherboards is not working well with the new X servers. The chipset usually comes with 8 meg video ram, but because of adressing problems, the X-server will only be able to use 1 meg. Although the chipset does work well, I would avoid sis agp video.
Thanks zentara, I will make a note of the integrated video units, don't care much for those anyway. I think about all the integrated motherboards are ones to stay away from no matter who does the chipset. Some work better than others, but better off not to use them if possible. The motherboard I was interested in has the SiS735 chipset, which I saw some pretty good reviews about. A better chipset than AMD760 and the VIA266 motherboards. www.tomshardware.com has some pretty good info, I've found recently. -- ---KMail 1.3.1--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb@sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb
