I've heard good (performance) things about that chipset, but SiS is legendary for making crappy, unreliable, flaky, buggy hardware that drives up the support costs of companies selling mobo's based on their chipsets. It may work fine, I dunno, but is the $20 you'll have worth your time and headache if it doesn't?
