Final Thoughts

With increased production contributing to all time low memory prices, DDR-compatible motherboards are rapidly overtaking both the OEM and retail market segments.  However, one distinct feature differentiates the ECS K7S5A from the mainstream pack; performance.  The underlying SIS735 chipset offers superior scaling in terms of memory bandwidth, even as compared to the well established AMD761 chipset.  The internal 1.2 GB per second interconnect bus also insures maximum PCI and secondary I/O bus bandwidth.  The SIS735 simply represents one of the most powerful Athlon chipsets to date, thus ECS delivers a highly competitive solution with the K7S5A.
