Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: SiS 730S Socket-A Chipset: Is the Duron allowed to succeed now?] |
 | | The 730S deviates from this tradition, as it is a single chip solution. This isn’t to say that the 730S doesn’t have a Northbridge and a Southbridge connected by a PCI bus, all it means is that the North and Southbridges are contained within a single chip. This chip is the 672-pin 730S. |
| | The 730S has support for 6 USB ports in addition to the usual AC’97 and Modem Riser card support. Like the i815E, the 730S has built in support for 10/100 Ethernet or 1Mbps HomePNA with the inclusion of an external controller chip, the SiS 900 in the case of 10/100 Ethernet support. |
| | The KT133 is just over 10% faster than the SiS 730S, the only factors that can be attributed to this lead being the disk and/or memory controllers. Let’s continue with the benchmarks and see if any other clues pop up. |
