The Substance: The SiS 651/962L Chipset
Compared to other mini PCs, the SS51G Barebone System is based on the latest SiS 651/962L chipset, which makes available important extras like USB 2.0 and an AGP slot. If you prefer, you can use the onboard graphics and leave the AGP slot free. Nothing in its class offers the same choices. Besides Ultra-DMA/133, FireWire (IEEE1394) and USB 2.0, DDR333/DDR266 memory is also supported.
