SiS645DX Chipset Review @ x-bit labs
Published: Monday, April 22, 2002 | By: Dennisx-bit labs gives us an in-depth look at the SiS645DX that has unofficial DDR400 memory support and a sporty new 533MHz Front Side Bus. The unfortunate thing is that this chipset will soon be shadowed by the next-generation SiS648 and SiS648DX in May which ironically is around the same time the 533MHz Pentium 4 Processors will be released, Can you say "waste of time?" I knew you could.

Published: Friday, April 19, 2002 | By: DennisThe talks are over and it would appear that SiS was approved to use the 533MHz FSB technology for the Pentium 4. After reading the news article it would appear that SiS might start hiding in the OEM market.

533MHz FSB P4 boards in May
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2002 | By: DennisAccording to this article the 533MHz FSB chipsets and processors will be on the market sometime in May but manufactures are having trouble dumping their current stock of 400MHz parts.
It makes you wonder, Since AMD announced that they have lost money and the outlook for the new faster P4 FSB looking weak, is the economy is still that bad? Or has everyone already gotten the computer that they want?? -
Tyan Thunder i7500 Review @ GamePC
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2002 | By: DennisDual Xeon goodness, and the fun doesn't stop there, this board is actually a Quad processor once you consider HyperThreading. Some of the other features include support for up to 12gigs of DDR200 memory, and PCI-X slots (2x 133MHz, 2x 66MHz). Pretty much everything needed for any high-end server.
