Certainly not. The 530 is AFAIK about 4 years old technology and there's no support from SiS. I won't spend any time on that (especially as I don't have a machine for testing). > I'm asking so I can make a decision whether to wait or replace this PCCHIPS > motherboard now.

That chip's simply too old.
