Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1378 Lines: 32 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: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6820728&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01174&id=1091101655872 It seems like an excellent deal. I was considering buying this machine: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6825643&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01174&id=1091101643460 But, luckily, found: http://forums.viaarena.com/categories.aspx?catid=28&flcache=4127201&entercat=y which documents VIA's failure to support Linux.
