Who will make SIS 645 motherboards

Hi I am looking at building myself a P4 system (northwood) and was thinking of going the SIS DDR root because it is quite cheap and supposed to perform very well, not too far of the P4 i850 combo. I was wondering who make (or will make shortly) motherboards based on the sis 645 chipset? Will Abit be making one? I know ASUS have them.
Any help much appreciated 🙂🙂
 
Right now, ECS makes a sis645 board (P4S5A). It's not a bad board, cheap (I think I paid 88.00 @ newegg). Just don't but it expecting any overclocking features. So far it seems stable, but I have some driver, software bugs to work out.


All in all, I can't recommend or discourage you from buying this board, there just isn't enough info out yet. (it does support DDR333)

Check it out at Link.
 
AOpen, ECS, Iwill, ABIT, ASUS, MSI, and likely a few others. VIA hasn't been successful in stonewalling mobo makers to avoid using SiS as they were with SiS 735. Perhaps the issues which plagued P4X266 have something to do with that.

The best value is the P4S5A. Around $85, you can't get a speedier P4 mainboard for the price.
 
Anyone has a list of SIS 645 reviews.

Particularily, did any review test the stability of the MB when all three RAM slots are populated.
 
Soyo got one out (saw it at Frys) and it has raid and that little usb smart card reader thingy that goes in a 51/4 drive slot I looks like it could be a really kick ass sis 645 mobo,uh that is if you like P$ oops p4's . 😉
