A preview of Leadtek WinFast 7350KDA
Overclocker 12 Oct 2001

update : The full review is up at http://www.ocworkbench.com/hardware/Leadtek/WinFast7350KDA/7350kdap1.htm

The success of SiS735 is in its low price/performance ratio which really stunned the users worldwide. This is definitely very true for the ECS K7S5A which was priced at a mere USD69 and the expansion of the ECS sector forum with a 2017 topics and 13330 posts just within 2 months since the inception of this forum. It just proves one thing, users prefer low cost high performance boards.

With a number of major players pulling out from launching SiS735, we thought we would only see two boards which are ECS K7S5A and Chaintech 7SID. Leadtek WinFast 7350KDA is probably the only SiS735 board which will feature overclocking features that most overclockers are longing for. In the next few pages, you will see the performance of the Leadktek Winfast7350KDA board versus a ref. KT266A board. Do take note that the results are a preview submitted to us by our Taiwanese counterpart. The results are subjected to changes. When we receive the official retail board, we will do a review ourselves and compare it with retail KT266A and SiS735 boards.

This mainboard will be retailing at SGD199 (~USD110) and will be available soon.
