Whoohoo! A Mini PC That Goes To The Max

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.


Principal assembly of the SiS chipset as used on the Shuttle FS51 motherboard. Support for an AGP slot is conspicuous.


The brand-new SiS Southbridge 962L supports Ultra DMA/133, USB 2.0 and an IEEE1394a controller.

The features of the SiS 651 (Northbridge) chip: DDR333 support, AGP 4x and onboard graphics.

    Can anyone help me with the wiring diagram for the SIS 962Lua socket:478 motherboard? The fan wires hooked to the side panel yanked out four plugs that run the on/off/reset buttons and I'm lost on how to find the right docs.

    THanks
