actually i think SIS's products are not that bad. it is just that no first tier motherboard company is willing to manufacture/promote SIS's product....

i helped a lot of my friends install computers using ECS K75SA and K75SA Pro...Everyone is stable without any driver problems...

i just hope SIS can continue introduce new products....

Asrock is another brand of Asus, and K7S8XE+ has SIS 946 as its south bridge, which has SATA, and SATA raid. The price in USA and Canada is around US$55~$65, and it is a good choice for budget buyer...
