PCChips M847LU SiS 746 + Xabre 200 Motherboard V Nforce2 IGP | |

This review will focus on the new and improved SiS746 chipset, which is found on the PCChips M847LU motherboard. The PCChips M847LU made its debut at Comdex 2002. It was visually attractive in that it was the first motherboard to integrate onboard video that is independent of the Northbridge. That is, PCChips grafted a Xabre 200 video chipset with its own dedicated 64MB of embedded DDR RAM (also separate from the system memory). This design is revolutionary and can lead to endless possibilities. No more are integrated video solutions limited by size, complexity, and power consumption. With the introduction of an independent video entity on motherboards, who's to stop motherboard makers from putting say a GeForce4 Ti on a Nforce2-based motherboard or Radeon 9700 on ATI's next motherboard? As for PCChips, this is a step in the right direction to dispelling the stereotype that all integrated motherboards are inferior. | ||
