HyperStreaming Architecture
The SiS
®
655FX integrates the latest HyperStreaming Engine which greatly
improves computer system performance. The HyperStreaming Engine smartly
manages the data streaming to flow smoothly from the peripherals to the core logic
chipsets between the North and South bridge to the Front Side Bus, memory and
graphic interface.
Serial ATA solution with RAID 0, RAID 1 support
The motherboard supports two interfaces compliant to the Serial ATA (SATA)
specification, an evolutionary replacement of the Parallel ATA storage interface.
The Serial ATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin
count, reduced voltage requirement, up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, and
software compatibility with legacy Parallel ATA. With the integrated controller in the
SIS 964 chipset, the motherboard supports RAID0, RAID1 configuration using
SATA drives. See pages 1-19.
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk or
support CD in case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection
eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip.
AGP 8X support
AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that enables
enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to 2.12 GB/s. With
a bus of 533Mhz, AGP 8X is twice as fast as AGP 4X.
8 USB 2.0 ports
The motherboard implements the new Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0
specification, extending the connection speed from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to a fast
480 Mbps on USB 2.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 allows connection of
devices such as high resolution video conferencing cameras, next generation
scanners and printers, and fast storage units. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with
USB 1.1. See page 1-17.
