ECS L7S7A2 Motherboards is awarded the best cost/performance product from K7JO.de, Germany
(May 7,2003)

Der folgende Artikel befasst sich mit der Hauptplatine L7S7A2 des Herstellers Elitegroup (ECS)

Vorab möchten wir uns bei Herrn Grothe von der Firma Elitegroup Deutschland für die Teststellung des L7S7A2 recht herzlich bedanken.

Das L7S7A2 mit dem Chipsatz SiS746/963 ist die dritte klassische SiS-Platine für AMD-CPUs aus dem Hause ECS, die Versionen mit integrierter Graphik einmal nicht mitgezählt. Im Folgenden wollen wir uns mit der Frage befassen, ob das L7S7A2 das Potential besitzt, das schon legendäre ECS K7S5A mit SiS 735 (auch 745) hinsichtlich Preisgestaltung und Stabilität abzulösen und ob es dabei noch ein gehöriges Leistungsplus verzeichnen kann. Dem ECS K7S6A war dieses seinerzeit nicht gelungen. Das L7S7A2 wird sich in allen Belangen an seinen aktuellen Konkurrenten mit nVidia nForce2 und Via KT400 messen müssen.
