The new coming chipset SIS735

[MiracleMan]

Well, I'm about to travel to the wonderland fsb world (read ddr based mobos), and actually, my choose board are the fantastic Epox 8K7A. But after reading at tomshardware about this new chipset (well actually its only one integrated chip) from SIS, and how it kicking the VIA and AMD arsses, I became interested in it but can't find other mobos than PCChips using it. So, I'm in the chase of any blurbs about the greate companies (hope Epox) interests in build new mobos with it. Hmm, maybe I just bought one this low costs and mod'n tweak it to the core...

these boards are due out on the 3rd quarter. I think MSI (the one I want) and Asus are the 2 who will carry them first, but I could be wrong. This will be my next major upgrade. I love this little AVIA 1gigger.

If you want too wait, my advice is to wait for the nforce mobo's, those are going to work the sis735 chip (along with the other chipsets)

Buy your system now and upgrade later. There is going to be some very interesting competition here in the next few months. Supposedly the N-force even has a stepless ram frequency selection independent of the FSB. I am betting the N-force will kick anything we have seen yet.

I had this same delima, just bought all the hardware for my new system. I recomend waiting for the nForce boards, get an EPoX EP-8K7A for around $120, or the RAID version for $30 more, it is an awesome board for overclocking and performed as well or better in benchmark tests as the SIS 735 chipset. The only thing I wish I could have is the integrated Eathnernet card. But the 8K7A is a great board and will be good to hold you over till the nForce comes out and has a chance to stabilze in price.
