Subject: Support for the SiSM741 chipset?
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 16:47:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a44ae5cd05031616477698e331@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I am considering buying an Averatec AV6210X60, which uses this chipset.

A description of the chipset is here:
http://www.linuxelectrons.com/article.php/20031216092226919

The marketing blurb incudes this:
Furthermore, the SiSM741 chipset incorporates SiS's revolutionary
HyperStreaming™ Technology, which provides multiple divided pipelines
for data, allows data to be sent concurrently, and separates data for
easier memory retrieval, resulting in a remarkable reduction in
latency versus traditional chipsets.  Has support for this been
implemented?

Also mentioned is the SiS162 wireless networking chipset.

Here is the machine I am thinking of purchasing:

It seems like an excellent deal.

But, luckily, found:

which documents VIA's failure to support Linux.

Thanks,
