What is the SiS745?

[Guest]

I was just browsing the ECS home page (planning on buying
a K7S5A for an Athlon XP 1500+), and I noticed a new board;
the K7S6A, featuring the SiS745 chipset. I've read a lot
lately about the SiS735, but I have heard nothing about the
745. Anyone know anything about it?

it is a newer chip made by SIS.
it supports ddr 333....
here is a link from sis's site...

this describes the capabilities of the chip, but i think that no one has decided to implement the onboard firewire that this chip can handle!
too bad...but this seems to be a pretty promising chip!
i also wish that ECS had decided to include the onboard lan...kinda handy!
AND, i really hope that they decide to take a little more care in making this than they did with the ECS k7s5a...because they sure didnt with that...eg, massive ammounts of RMA's.
