TAIPEI, Taiwan --- Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), a supplier of logic and graphics chips for PCs has announced the introduction to the market place of the SiS746FX chip set for PC motherboards that use a processor from Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
The SiS746FX supports a so-called 'front-side' bus that operates at 333-MHz clock frequency, supports double data rate 400-MHz DRAMs, and has an AGP8X graphics interface, the company said.
The 333MHz front-side bus is the latest improvement to the specification of the AMD K7 processor, SiS said. DDR400 memory controller is expected to become a mainstream requirement in 2004 the company added.
