OCworkbench.com have thrown up their ASRock K7S8X-E mainboard review based on SIS's 748 chipset and not forgetting they already have a Voltage Modification Guide up for the same board! Here's a snip.

ASRock K7S8X-E is the first board that incorporates the latest SIS 748 chipset. If you have been following our discussions in our forums, you should have read that the performance levels of the SIS 748 chipset is pretty good and it reigns in price/performance ratio. The ASRock K7S8X-E is such a board that has this in mind -a board that provides stability and performance at a fraction of the high end K7 boards out there in the market.

SiS 748 as we know is the latest K7 chipset from SiS which supports the latest 200Mhz FSB processors or 400Mhz processors e.g. Barton AXP3200+. Featuring the hyperstreaming technolgy, it allows this single channel DDR400 solution as fast as current DDR400 K7 solutions available on the market today.

This new technology avoids many of the out-of-sync audio, jittery images, low frame rates and possible packet transfer errors. With this new technology, it makes single channel as good as a dual channel design.
