Sis DDR chipset speed maybe due to very aggressive timings...

[$pade]

there is no doubt that the board is fast since it gets 663/823 for its sandra mem benchmark scores at 133fsb and ultra memory timings. I took those numbers from socketa's preview and believe they recorded the highest scores for this board out of all previews so far. This is almost as good or even comparable to a properly configured and well made kt266 board. Just for reference my msi k7t266 gets around 650/860 when run at 133fsb and aggressive memory timings, and this is with no bios hacks or registry tweaks. the problem i see though is that they were only able to get the fsb up to 138 when using those memory timings which suggest that at 133 fsb the board may already be running at its maximum potential. But then again the 138fsb limitation may only be a problem unique to the reference design.
