It is interesting to see that ATi is using SB from ULi to pair up with theirNB. Also M1566/69 and M1573/75 share pretty similar features except that thelink to the NB is different, M1566/69 is using HyperTransport while M1573/75 isusing PCI Express. SiS966 sports a nice feature call smart clock gating whichprobably make overclocking easier.
