A Lost Chance? SiS 735 Motherboards For The Athlon

Quake III Arena

The picture is pretty much the same in Quake Arena. This time, the ECS board is faster than the Chaintech.

This game benchmark did not even start on the Chaintech 7SID, as I mentioned before. Again, it seems to be some memory issue, as I could not have the board run stable neither by replacing the memory nor by reducing the BIOS timings to the slowest possible values.

In contrast, the ECS board is second fastest here ! Only Abit’s KG7 is slightly faster.
