The SiS661FX chipset provides a high performance host interface for the Intel ®
Pentium ® 4 processor, and supports AGP 8X, 800MHz front side bus, and
DDR400. The SiS661FX features the SiS HyperStreaming™ Engine that smartly
manages data streams between peripherals, core logic chipsets, front side bus,
memory and graphic interfaces. This technology dramatically optimizes and
improves the entire computer system performance.
Providing I/O and peripheral support is the SiS964 southbridge. The southbridge is
a subsystem that integrates various I/O functions including dual-channel ATA133
bus master IDE, USB 2.0/1.1, Ethernet, and audio controllers. The SiS964
provides LPC and AC'97 interfaces, and complies with the Advanced Power
Management (APM) 1.2 specification. The SiS964 interconnects with the
northbridge at up to 1GB/s using the SiS proprietary MuTIOL ® bus interface.
DDR400 support
The motherboard supports up to 2GB of system memory using DDR400/333/266
non-ECC DDR DIMMs to deliver up to 3.2GB/s data transfer rate for the latest 3D
graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. See page 1-10.
Real256E integrated graphics
Embedded in the northbridge is the SiS Real256E integrated graphics with a
256-bit 3D engine and 2D graphics accelerator with a maximum 64MB shared
display memory. The Real256E integrated graphics engine incorporates the
UltraAGPII™ technology to provide a faster link between the built-in graphic engine
and the northbridge memory controller. This technology boosts VGA throughput to
up to 3.2GB/s to bring clearer and sharper images for your multimedia and
graphic-intensive applications. The Real256E integrated graphics achieves a
maximum resolution of 2048x1536 at 32bpp. See page 1-17.
Integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN controller
®
Onboard is the Realtek LAN PHY that interconnects with the SiS964 southbridge
LAN controller to fully support 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet networking. See
page 1-17.
6-Channel Audio solution
The motherboard uses an onboard audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality
6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards. See page 1-17.
Serial ATA technology
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA technology through the Serial ATA
interfaces and the SIS 964 chipset. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more
flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150
MB/s data transfer rate. See page 1-19 for details.
