Did you guys know that Nforce 4 is slower than Sys 755

[Ahil]

I read this at a hardware magazine and I'm shocked. Sys 755 beat Nforce 4 at every benchmark except memory. Is it possible

Linkage?

Huge test on 4 A64 chipsets

Don't know about the 755 though (It's AGP).

It's not on the Internet it's on a magazine called Softwre and Hardware that I just read

until it is tested and re-tested we wil have to wait to see. i am not am amd fanboy, hell i am currently running a P4 on a intel based board and i have used sis based boards before, but you need to remember that the nf4 chipset is very common and accepted. nvidia will probably just put a new driver set and tweak some settings.

Not saying it's wrong, but I doubt that the speed differences in the different chipsets are more than ~5% and often less, specially on the A64 platform. So basically you want most features and stable drivers, and it seems nvidia delivers here.

biostud is correct on virtually all accounts.

Cheap SiS-based boards often are great for budget mobos, especially when overclocking is not going to be done.

Still Nforce 4 is the only chipset to support Serial ATA II and ATA RAID, and it appears to be the only one with command queuing that works. Most importantly, if you want SLI or an overclocking board, it's basically the only one to go with.

SiS has been designing good chipsets the last couple years, they've just been living in nVidia's shadow. I've only seen a few boards based on SiS chipsets.
