hey toms has a reveiw of the new SIS 735 and 635 chipset/reference motherboards. the 735 is pretty badass it beats the 760 in all but one of the benchmarks mpeg4 encoding but it barely gets beat there. the 635 pretty much just sucks since the pIII can't take advantage of the ddr. http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/01q2/010611/index.html
