Abit Announces First Motherboard to Support 1200MHz RDRAM Memory.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2003 Abit Computer Corporation proudly announces the SI7 motherboard featuring the SiS R658 chipset and Samsung Electronics' 1200MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Pronounced "r-d-ram." A dynamic RAM chip technology from Rambus, Inc., Los Altos, CA (www.rambus.com). Rambus licensed its memory designs to semiconductor companies, which manufactured the chips. (R) memory. Developed jointly with Silicon Integrated Systems Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS, Traditional Chinese: 矽統科技) is a company that manufactures, among other things, motherboard chipsets. The company was founded in 1987 in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. (SiS), a leading core logic and graphics chip maker and Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd., the industry-leading memory technology supplier, Abit's SI7 motherboard is designed for power users seeking PCs with the highest performance and best features. "ABIT products are known for high performance and reliability, and our SI7 motherboard is no exception," said Edwin Lin, General Manager of ABIT. "Using the SiS R658 chipset, ABIT's SI7 motherboard offers all ultra high-end features for the enthusiasts including Gigabit LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , Serial ATA, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394a, and 1200MHz RDRAM." "SiS is a leader at supplying customers with the highest performance computing solutions with features such as AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed 32-bit port from Intel for attaching a display adapter to a PC. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard. 8X, and the fastest memory," said Stephen Chen, vice president of SiS. "The SiSR658 chipset, combined with the powerful Intel(R) Pentium 4(R) processor and the bandwidth of RDRAM memory, enables us to deliver the fastest and smoothest computing experience." The performance PC segment continues to demand faster and faster memory solutions, especially now that Hyperthreading(R) CPU speeds are in excess of 3.0GHz. 1200MHz RDRAM from Samsung will meet these demands and take memory performance to the next level. "Samsung is committed to providing the fastest memory for the ultimate computing and gaming experience," said Jon Kang, Senior Vice President of Memory Product Planning and Engineering, Samsung Electronics. "Most of today's benchmark test results prove that the PC1200 RDRAM performance, which is strongly influenced by memory frequency and bandwidth, is superior to other PC systems. In fact, the high memory frequency and bandwidth of our PC1200 RDRAM has outperformed other PC systems in benchmark test results." The Abit SI7 supports up to 4 GB 1200/1066MHz RDRAM memory capacity and fully supports AGP8X interface for powerful graphics chips. In addition, the SiSR658/963 chipsets are also equipped with powerful multimedia functions, including 5.1 Channel AC'97 2.2 Audio, 10/100MB Ethernet, Home PNA PNA Palestinian National Authority PNA Phoneline Networking Alliance PNA Peptide Nucleic Acid PNA Personal Navigation Assistant PNA Pacific/North American PNA Polish National Alliance (established 1880 in Chicago, Illinois) 2.0 and Dual ATA (1) (AT Attachment) The specification for IDE drives. See IDE. (2) See analog telephone adapter. ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment 133/100/66 IDE Channels, six USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0/1.1 ports, and three 1394a ports, which can fully meet the high end PC requirement.
