TAIPEI, Taiwan - January 23, 2003 - ABIT
Computer Corporation proudly announces the SI7 motherboard featuring the SiS
R658 chipset and Samsung Electronics' 1200MHz RDRAM® memory. Developed jointly
with Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), a leading core logic and graphics chip
maker and Samsung Electronics 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, Serial ATA, IEEE 1394a, and 1200MHz

"SiS is a leader at supplying customers with the highest performance computing
solutions with features such as AGP8X, and the fastest memory," said Stephen
Chen, vice president of SiS. "The SiSR658 chipset, combined with the powerful
Intel® Pentium 4® 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® 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,
