Asus E-Deluxe and the NF7-S Rev 2 are the best Socket A boards. I had both and only reason I sold the NF7-S board was because the Asus seem to have more realiability overall.

Shuttle AN35N Ultra is a great OC'ing board without the fancy features like Firewire etc etc.

Should be around $50 new.

I had a NF7-S Rev 2 mobo and it was a solid overclocker...i ran a xp2500 mobile in it and had it running at xp3200 equivalent..rock solid...it has a nice range of voltage adjustments for memory and cpu core plus ability to set fsb mulitpliers for unlocked procs.

I currently have two nf7-s v2 mb's in service with unlocked barton 2500's @ 3200 since day one and they've been solid.

Although several online retailers, including Newegg, did put the A35N's on sale for prices in the low to mid $50 range last summer and fall, the MSRP is closer to $70, and neither Price Grabber nor Pricewatch could show me anything to beat the mid $60's last month. I've seen A7N8X-X's as inexpensive as that, and just bought one for a project-- couldn't be happier with the purchase!

NF7-s is in my kid's system with a 35w@2.5ghz, Soundstorm is the killer feature along with good voltage range.
