Leadtek K7NCR18D-Pro

..:: Introduction ::..
Leadtek is a name synonymous for performance and quality in the graphics card industry. Leadtek boasts some of the most performance user oriented products on the market when it comes to graphics cards, and they have begun to step up to the plate in the motherboard arena. NVIDIA’s original nForce chipset was one of the most hyped chipsets that I can remember, and it has been no different with the release of the nForce2 chipset. Many users were originally satisfied with nForce, but it left some expectations unmet. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Leadtek K7NCR18D-Pro to see if the nForce2 chipset and the Leadtek motherboard have more bark than bite.
