The SiS645 is the world’s first Pentium 4 chipset supporting DDR333 with 3 to 6 months ahead of all the competitors. It features unprecedented high performance, full compatibility and low energy consumption. The SiS645 employs open architecture with independent north and south bridge (SiS645/SiS961). The SiS745 also employs open architecture and is the first single chip to integrate IEEE1394 to provide fast peripheral interface. Both SiS645 and SiS745 support DDR333/DDR266 memory module up to 3GB. In addition, the SiS proprietary MuTIOL® (Multi-threaded I/O Link) technology delivers 533MB/s bandwidth between the north and south bridges.
