PC3200 is much, much less, not to mention, a nice Sis648 motherboard will be far less expensive than a nice i850e motherboard.Originally posted by: icecool83
How do the prices of PC1066 compare with the price of PC3200? If the difference is small why not just pay the small premium and get a guaranteed stable and speedy solution with an i850e board + PC1066...
Otherwise, the scores are impressive for DDR

How come SiS didn't stick with their single chip chipset design? I think merging the north and south bridges together is an elegant way to save PCB space. Oh well, the chipset still looks good.

i'm about to upgrade my system to a P4 1.6A CPU, and i'm 99% sure that i'm going to use the SiS648 chipset. now its just a matter of who's mobo is the most stable, reliable, and overclockable...and how long i can wait for it. Shuttle's new board is just full of features, but most of them are due to the chipset itself. if i were to go with the ASUS later on, i would know for a fact that i have one of the most stable boards out there, and the only true mobo feature i'd be missing is RAID i think...
