It was just a generic $39 SIS 315 with 64Meg of ram. Just used a
modeline I found for 1920x1080i and it worked out of the box without
using the modified SIS driver I saw mentioned elsewhere. I plays video
just fine. I went from 24 bit to 16 bit because the interface (graphics)
were drawing a little sluggish. I was using the built in Intel Extreme2
but could not get it to even load any modelines, like the driver was
ignoring them. The Intel chip is supposed to do interlace, it was really
fast, the screensaver would bounce around with no problems. With the SIS
the screen saver would chug along slowly. I don't know if it is the ram
size, or chip speed, driver or just because I went from 800x600 to
1920x1080 and that is alot of mem to push around. I am thinking about
getting the Xabre 400 based on the SIS chips. I just could not wait
anymore for nvidia to fix the interlace in the driver.
