New Chipsets From VIA and SiS
Published: Friday, February 22, 2002 | By: DennisAccording to the chart SiS will be slightly ahead of VIA in the P4 arena in March. Here are some things we can expect, DDR400, AGP 8x and 533MHz FSB all on the Pentium 4. DDR400 for the AMD series of processors won't be until the end of 2Q.
