Known issues:

  • Underperforming chipset/board

The motherboard or chipset may deliver subpar performance compared to similar products, which can result in reduced memory bandwidth, poor memory latency, and bad AGP performance. This can negatively impact overall system performance.

  • SiS 5600 AGP Locked to FSB

Motherboards using the SiS 5600 chipset may exhibit a flawed AGP implementation due to the absence of an AGP divider for a 100 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). Consequently, the AGP clock remains locked to the FSB clock. This issue negatively impacts the functionality and stability of AGP devices connected to the motherboard, potentially affecting the overall system performance.

Notes:

one of the SiS 5600 reference boards, has broken AGP implementation due to lack of AGP divider for 100 MHz FSB
