what boards are among the best?
Abit NFS-7
Asus A7N8X deluxe (rev2.0) "homer" wrote in message a... I have an XP 2500, and an XP 2700+. Now comes the choice of boards. I have my eye on a few boards, but what I want to know is which boards are best for overclocking and stability? If you will, anyone who is reading this, please reply to this post with a few (2 or 3) choices as to what boards are good. The reason I am asking this is because I have mo hands on experience with any newer boards and I bet you experienced folks here do. The one I purchase is going to need to have the multiplier function avalaible for me to change as I dont do (and FSB obvously) modifications to my chips (I'd break something). More convienienty would be easy voltage controls and stuff. (End goal is to run the XP2500+ at 400FSB.) Thanks now for any replies. yeah! |

The Epox 8RDA3+ seems to be the choice for serious overclocking and it gets
good reviews. Check here for what the top overclockers use: http://www.vr-zone.com/guides/AMD/TBred/ It also comes with a very nice bundle of parts and accessories. The Abit NF7-S and the Asus A7N8X deluxe (rev2.0) are also highly recommended. All use the same nVidia chipset. Here are a couple of reviews: www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/epox-8rda3+/ http://www.ocworkbench.com/2003/epox...+/8rda3+p1.htm "homer" wrote in message a... I have an XP 2500, and an XP 2700+.

I like my new MSI K7N2 Delta-L and with the 2500 you could drop it in and run 200x11 without doing anything special. |

Abit NF7-S Asus A7N8X deluxe v2.0 either of those two boards but the Abit is a little better . I have an ASUS I bought it before I put a Abit together . Both are easy to set up and make changes in the bios multipliers and FSB . |

the newest Epox or Abit based on the NF2 ultra chipset is what you should
be after, NF7-S V2 Abit, Epox 8rda3+ are among the best boards going Asus's newest nf2 would be my third choice, I currently run the Abit NF7-S v2, and am awaiting the new Epox if it ever shows here in canada.
