Chaintech 9SJD (SiS 645) Mainboard
|
The board looks ordinary: typical yellow textolite and typical capabilities.
Accessories:
- Package: a new design for this company but with standard pictures;
- Documentation: a user manual in English;
- Cables: 1 ATA66/100 and 1 FDD;
- Sticker showing functional connectors and switches;
- 2 CD with software including:
- drivers;

- XStop.
The layout is not excellent: IDE connectors are behind PCI slots (it
can prevent installation of full-sized expansion cards). The AGP connector
has a lock for a video card.
The feed circuits incorporate 12 capacitors of 1500 uF and 4 of 1200
uF.
There are the following controllers: C-Media CMI8738/PCI-6ch-MX supporting
6-piece acoustic systems and having a connector for front audio-outs; ITE
I/O IT8705F controller supporting MultiMedia Card and Secure Digital Card
Reader (the reader connectors are not unsoldered).
Non-unsoldered connectors: IEEE1394 controller, audio codec.
Brief characteristics of the board: memory slots - 3 DDR SDRAM;
expansion slots - AGP/ 5 PCI; I/O ports - 2 COM/ LPT/ 2 PS/2/ 6 USB; dimensions
- 305x235 mm.

The board has average speed capabilities, not a wide range of settings,
good stability and a relatively low price, and it must make it popular
in many market sectors.
