Gigabyte SINXP1394 - SiS 655 Based Motherboard

Published by

Anandtech has taken Gigabyte's latest motherboard offering for spin. This one is based on SiS' latest core logic chipset the 655. It offers dual channel DDR support, AGP 8x, RAID, onboard LAN, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, FireWire and even more goodies. Here is a snip that will make you go hmmm: One of the most anticipated aspects of SiS 655 motherboards has been their support for multiple memory frequencies. While there isn?t a single Granite Bay motherboard on the market that supports more than dual DDR266 operation, all SiS 655 boards will support at least dual DDR333 operation. Interestingly enough, Gigabyte decided to go all out and provide an option in the SINXP1394 BIOS for up to dual DDR540. Obviously you won?t be hitting anywhere near DDR540, but there is an option for dual DDR400, which can be run quite successfully on the SINXP1394.
