Conlcusion
The
Xabre400 definitely holds a lot of potential and
could really make it big in the low end and budget
conscious market. Thanks to its more advanced
feature set, it certainly does appear to be a
better option than the GeForce4 MX series. The
Xabre400's competitor should be the GeForce3 Ti
200 but the problem with the GeForce3 Ti 200 is
that production has already stopped and what's
left are only the GeForce4 MX series. The GeForce4
MX can outperform the Xabre400 by using brute
force but once the advanced features come into
play, the Xabre400 would end up being a better
option because of the technology it houses.
The
only thing that could hold back the sales of the
Xabre400 chips is the trust of the people. It
has been engraved in the mind of people that SiS
products aren't really top notch or would sometimes
have all sorts of problems here and there; well
everyone has their own share of problems. In the
Xabre400 though, there were no out of this world
problems encountered and the previously noted
problems in the early reviews/previews of the
Xabre400 have more of less been solved thanks
to driver updates. It might take a while before
the minds of people are opened to other options
other than NVIDIA products but ATi and SiS are
certainly working hard and bring in competition
again to the graphics market. For the price, the
Xabre400 is a very good buy offering advanced
technology and very good performance.
