LEADTEK K7NCR18D-PRO

[QuestionsandAnsweres]

Just bought this motherboard from newegg.com...

Anyone tried it out yet? Supposely it now has adjustable mutlipliers and 400mhz FSB support...

I was either thinking of getting this or the Asus. I went with this because the asus was $35 more and i didnt need the SATA the asus has... did i make a good choice?

Nope, I've never used a Leadtek mobo, just video cards and the TV2000XP both of which have been excellent. What has been your experience with that board so far? It has the MCP-T if I'm not misatken so sound should be good at least...

I have the K7NCR18GM and it also has adjustable multipliers...works great with my Duron 1600 @ 2070

Installed the motherboard. Have a question tho. Should i use NFORCE IDE drivers? or use windows?

Also does 1800 3dmark 2003 scores sound right with this setup

Athlon XP 2500+
Leadtek Nforce 2
2x256mb of PC2700
Geforce 4 ti4600

ok So far so good. Ran 3dmark 2001 over night. no crashes.. So far the board seems to very stable... Tho this 2500+ is slower than my brothers 2400+ with 266mhz fsb (i guess its because his is 2ghz while mine is 1.83). Seems AMD definatly over rated this processor. Oh well i guess i could always overclock it like everyone else does

I think im video card limited now. I overclocked my processor to 3200+ speeds and some reason 3DMARK score only increased 25 points. I kept my memory at 333Mhz tho because my memory isnt stable at 400mhz. But with dual channel memory controller i still should be getting more than enough memory bandwith for my processor.. Im sure games that are more CPU intensive would be see a increase in performance tho...

So far the board has been VERY stable. I would recommend this board to anyone that doesnt need etra LAN port and SATA and 5 PCI slots (this board only has 4)... Since i dont use ANY PCI slots anymore im happy i saved the $35.......
