I'm getting a mobile barton 2500+ and i am stuck deciding between the abit AN7 or the NF7-S. was wondering what you guys think of the two for overclocking and performance?

thanks

same mobo except a few differences, the an7 has like 2 more USB ports and 1 more Firewire port, and the AN7 is $10 more then the Nf7-s...i chose the nf7-s

NF7-s, there are a few things that are to be worked out with the AN7 and uguru

Useful information

DFI Ultra Infinity is better than them both. Higher FSB, Bigger mosfets, Passive HS, cheaper, better support etc.

DFI ultra infinity also has reports of alot of DOAs, but if it works then it works very well indeed.

NF7-S, go with the tried and true. The Infinity is faster, but overall, not as solid.

I learned that clock for clock the Abit boards are faster than the DFI boards but you can get a higher overclock on the DFI boards. From what I've seen and experienced, DFI boards are a bigger gamble than other boards in the same class. I'd stick with Abit (as I have). And go for the NF7-S, the AN7 just doesn't bring enough new to the table to make it better than the NF7-S.
