Seeking insight on this since I'm going to be spending my money on one
of these boards in the near future.
What exactly are the differences between the Triton and SiS
Pentium-class chipsets? Does the SiS have any disadvantages versus
the Triton? Does the SiS demand special hardware (cache, RAM, etc.)
that the Triton doesn't? Which performs better?
I assume the Cyrix M1 and AMD K5 only work on the SiS chipsets? Has
anyone actually tried either one of these CPUs on a multi-tasking OS
yet (Windows NT or any Unix)?
Thanks for the info...
