Re: On The Face + other all-in-one chip
There is another new all-in-one chip from SiS. It is new. Has SVGA (don't
know which), 2xserial, 2xparallel, USB, 4xEIDE on it. It is rather large
but cheaper than multi-chipset solutions. It also looks weird, green with
cooling fins built in.
You add ram and a processor. Drives PCI and EISA buses. Takes Pentium and
Cyrix and K6 if I'm not wrong.
Machines based on this chip looked 20% cheaper than their counterparts at
sensibly identical performance (source: Computer Buyer - UK, December 97).
imho the capability to change the processor is important for users who
want to be able to upgrade.
I do not know if Xfree86 supports its SVGA driver, the rest should not be
a problem. Anyone tried this ?
