Where is the SIS 735?

[Guest]

Where is the sis 735? I'm waiting for it before I upgrade my computer, and even though I check pricewatch every day, there is no sis 735. Wazzup with that?

Looks like I will be buying one of those SIS 735 boards in the near future. Since I sold my old Athlon Classic or more exactly fixed someone elses computer. Thinking about buying a Duron for it as well. Unless I can get a very overclockable board then I will stick my T-Bird 1200 into and place the Duron into the IWILL KK266.

never heard of ECS before - I think I'll wait for a mainstream manufacturer board. VERY cheap though - $91 with duron 700....

I read the review though and it was pretty good. I'm just not in a hurry to jump on the wagon until a couple people fall off first. Once Asus, Abit, etc ships boards I think we're ready to go...

Never heard of ECS before????? Me neither. But there is a review of it:
<A HREF="http://accelenation.com/?doc=41" target="_new">http://accelenation.com/?doc=41</A>
They say ECS has quietly become one of the top board manufacturers, right next to ASUS!!!! Yup, read it, right on the first paragraph.
I have never played with AMD before, I have only Intel. But my friend (works at a computer place) had an AMD 1.1Ghz sitting on his desk for three months!!! Well he is gonna give it to me, and I hope it works. Time to play around with AMD.

Notice that a handful of vendors are making the 735, but that ECS isn't listed. Kinda odd.

Yeah I saw it too. But for sixty bucks? Can have a mobo plus a low end duron for less than $100.

Chaintech's 735 mobo is faster then the one THG tested i heard.

Yes, Gigabyte is also on that list too.

Perhaps it is faster, but Chaintech's 7SID is listed as an MATX board! ...And since I don't like ECS's SDR-DDR DIMM-slot configuration (max of 2 DDR DIMMs), I'll wait to check out Gigabyte's GA-7SRX (ATX) or Leadtek's WinFast7350DDR (ATX).

 

[FatBurger]

Saying they're one of the top board makers is most likely their opinion. They didn't say that they're one of the top-selling, or that any polls have shown them as a favorite, they just say they're a top board maker. Kinda suspicious.

<i><font color=blue>ECS delivers

Established in 1987, Elitegroup Computer Systems have made a quiet rise to the top ranks in motherboard market share. In fact, in recent surveys, </i><font color=black><b>ECS has placed first or second for Q1 2001 motherboard shipments</font color=black></b><i>, battling it out with long time market leader, ASUS.</i>

</font color=blue>They where talking about shipments, but no mention of who did the survey.

rcf84, you like chaintech don't you! I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks 'til the mainstream mobos come out, maybe a Gigabyte, Asus, or Leadtek. Even if they aren't as dirt cheap as the ECS, it looks like they'll be under a hundred bucks. In a couple weeks it might be possible to buy a SIS 735 + Tbird 1.4 for under 220 bucks. That will be cool!
Add half a gig of PC2100 DDR RAM, and I'll be rockin' and rollin'!

Waiting a while is the smart thing to do. As for myself, I wouldn't be interested in an MATX board (Chaintech). Personally, I have always found Gigabyte boards to be very high quality, so I'm waiting for the GA-7SRX.

My Chaintech i815ep mobo was they good to use. Then i got dually's. i built my friend a system with it. (p3 1ghz, 256mb pc133, 20gb 75gxp, ATi radoen 64mb vivo, sb live! value)
