Which has better memory bandwidth? Which has a better memory controller? I've seen some preview benchmarks of the new SiS648 using DDR400 which is near PC1066 performance on an i850(E) system. But they don't compare it too the results of i845E/G using DDR400. They only test the i845's with their default memory types (DDR266 / DDR333). I realize that nobody really has an SiS648 board yet but assuming that its memory performance/bandwidth is similar - if not slightly better - than the SiS645DX, does the i845E/G come close when running DDR400?
As a question-on-the-side, does anybody know if the new Asus SiS648 board has AGP/PCI bus lock feature? And is this feature chipset-specific or manufacturer-implemented?
