I love the SiS 645 chipset, cant comment on any others. VIA ones of the era seem good from what little experience Iv had, used to have a Biostar matx lga 775 VIA chipset on 478 that was no-nonsense, and stable.

Had SiS645 on an Asus P4S333, it was unstable at anything but default speed. Moved the same processor and ram to a board with Intel chipset (845E IIRC) and it ran 50% overclocked for years ... (1.6A Northwood @ 2.4)

My Amptron M930 (SiS 645) has been stable and worked well for me with Win98, but it (probably wisely) has no overclocking options.

Haven't messed with it since the recap, but I know anything higher than 333mhz DDR was unstable, and about a 200mhz OC. Also the manual explicitly states all 3 slots used is only rated for 266, but I didn't have any problems running some good Hynix DDR400 sticks at 333 as long as I kept the CAS Latency at default and upped the voltage a hair.

That's funny, I just finished up a Win98SE build on a Soyo P4I845PE Board with a Northwood 2.66 or 2.8 (Can't remember).

What I do remember is the setup went smooth as silk and I even found 98SE motherboard drivers without an issue.

Runs great with a GeForce4 Ti card....

I'm sticking a quadro4 900XGL 128mb in this one. Think it's a "cousin" to the Geforce4 Ti 4400.
