LEADTEK - Leadtek WinFast K7NCR18D-Pro Review

With all the bells and whistles in this thing, and for a mere 85$ it’s pretty hard to pass up, whether it’s an upgrade or a new system - so says the Viper Lair crew.

Leadtek, in reverse of companies such as MSI and Chanitech has moved from providing video cards only, to diversifying to motherboards as well. The first products that Leadtek released in the way of motherboards was based on the original nForce chipset. Apart from the nForce based chipset Leadtek has not made any other motherboards, such as for the Pentium IV or VIA or SIS based chipsets for the AMD Athlon platform. As we know that the nForce 2 performs very well, so how well did Leadtek design this motherboard, can it prove itself better than other motherboards? Let us look at one of the few motherboards that Leadtek makes.

.. This motherboard is a good performer, and for a low price as well, and has some overclocking potential. However the lack of the ability to change the multiplier and the poor overclocking with a 133MHz FSB processor push it just out of range of a recommended award, though if you want a inexpensive and good nForce 2 motherboard this should be at the top of your list.
