SiS 648 Chipset Review @ Anandtech

The chipset is basically a SiS 645DX with AGP 8x support and a few features added to the southbridge. Performance wise this chipset almost matches the i850, and for DDR333 thats pretty dang good.

"SiS is the only 3rd party manufacturer other than ATI to have an official license from Intel to produce chipsets for the Pentium 4 platform. Although VIA engineered a perfectly fine chipset without obtaining this seal of approval, they are having a very hard time selling their P4X series of chipsets because of the chipset’s questionable legality. With ATI focusing mostly on the mobile side of the market, SiS is left to produce all of the more cost effective Pentium 4 chipsets. "
