Everybody has to remember that SiS is only marginally better than VIA in compatibility, and several degrees less than any Intel modern chipset..
This makes SiS an excellent option for AMD based motherboards, but why on Earth would you pair an Intel processor with anything other than an Intel chipset? The whole point of paying the $$ for an Intel CPU is the benefit of getting to use their chipset. Works with everything, always.
.
That's worth the extra $20.

Did I miss something? IN the conclusion it said it packs dual channel 128 bit DDR?
