Any reviews on the Abit AN8 ultra yet?

[DARQ MX]

I have been waiting a while for a review for this board. I am sitting here with the parts to my rig with no mobo. I am having a tough time deciding between these non-SLI NF4 boards.

The boards I been looking at are...

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. Never heard a bad thing besides it's OC abiility.

ABIT AN8-ULTRA <The board I want. but I keep getting some negs from the fatali1ty.

Or that EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra ppl keep recomending me. I think EPOX is in the lower food chain compard to the big 3(ABI, ASUS, MSI)


Also, I don't plan on "hardcore" Oc-ing, I just want to bring my AMD 3700+ san diego up to 2.6 on AIR and that is about it. I don't need a board to do all kinds of other oc-ing like my USB port. LMAO... (Note: I know it is not possable, it is a joke)

The AN8 Should work well for you with a mild OC (237MHz FSB).

only a mild oc? hmm

My AN8 Ultra gets to 300FSB no problem, and seems to top out at about 310 FSB with no voltage adjustments or tweaks whatsoever (I could probably get a bit higher with some effort). That's good for better than a mild o/c .

You can overclock your USB ports, but that's beside the point. Epox is not lower quality at all. I'm running an Epox board (9NDA3+) after two Abits (NF7-S, IS7) and an Asus (A7N8X Deluxe) and it's just as much of a joy to work with as the Abit boards, and much better than the Asus.
