Motherboard Chipset Performance: 875P MCH vs. SIS 655TX

[Darren Harris]

Can anyone tell me if there are any "real-world" performance
differences between the "SIS 655TX/SIS 964" and "Intel 875P MCH/Intel
ICH5R" chipsets?

Thanks a lot.

SIS stands for "Stability Is Secondary." Use at your own risk.

You didn't elaborate, and I was curious if you had problems with a
board with this particular chipset.

Also, was this stability issue observed while over-clocking, or just
under normal circumstances?(I don't intend to over-clock).

Thanks.

And what basis do you have for that?
I agree Intel is the logical immediate choice for me too, but what is
wrong with SIS?

If you won't go with logic, why would you fish for a different opinion from
strangers? The man answered your question before you asked it. If you
won't trust logic, and won't trust the Group Psychic, what *WOULD* you
believe?

Price is the most common reason for choosing an SiS chipset. At stock speeds
you are very unlikely to see any performance difference between it and an
Intel chipset. Gigabyte, Asus, and Asrock all make good boards based on SiS
chipsets.

- Facts.

BTW. yours was one of the most stupid, useless and meaningless
responses I've ever seen.

no regards whatsoever

Sounds like someone soured on SIS back in the old days. SIS boards used to
be pretty buggy and unstable. The new SIS chipsets, starting the 845, are
very stable.

No disagreement here.

I believe that he somehow thought that you were the one who asked the
original question, and not me.(Not that his response would have still
made any since to me).

Nevertheless, from what I gather there is no significant different in
performance(and stability).

Thanks a lot.
