Yep Intel 845chipset w/DDR RAM

I coulnt find link from Abit on this released board. but here is what I did <A HREF="http://www.morextech.com/les_produits.htm" target="_new">find.</A>

I took pics but my photopoint account expired and its not worth the 20 bucks to show you a pic of a mobo.

The SIS645 "SD7" board has purple PCI , blue AGP, red IDE, and purple ram slots. very colorfull

This should end the debate on Rambus' death grip on Intel.

SD7 will be available in the US mid december.

that's cool fugger! good info for a great platform! can't wait for the NW.

"<b>AMD/VIA!</b>...you are <i>still</i> the weakest link, good bye!"

ooo yay. the SiS-645 is finally out and about. coolers!

Excuse me for a moment. I need to drive my ergonomic wheely chair over a sheet of bubble wrap!

Well all SiS 645 mobo is par with the I850

Nice Nvidia and ATi users get a Cookie.... Yummy

Loading the OS, both booted fine. Im running PC2100 on the SIS645 board till the Kingmax PC2700 gets here monday.

Had to copy the mobo inf drivers (sis645) to the hard drive when it failed to find the CDROM. other than that evertything is loading fine.

I already loaded win98SE and gonna dual boot with win2k pro

Havent even tried overclocking yet, prob get to it monday.

We had an investor/profit sharing meeting today, all good news.
from memory:
Were expected to hire 1200 people next year, we will get more stock options (than $ value if you dont take the cash)if we elect thru profit sharing. 10+ year people can buy at .28 cents per share. 4 year at .38 per share. accreditied personel will see 8% raise and engineers 12% (engineers start around 150k per year).

DOD, DOI, NASA, and DOE is dumping hundreds of millions onto us for upgrading systems 2002.

Stocks are up 700% since last month.
