I dont want to spend over 75 including shipping.
I've narrowed it down to:
-Shuttle "AN35N-Ultra"
-abit nf7 v2.0
-Soltek "SL-75FRN2-RL"
-EPoX "EP-8RDA3I"
-DFI "NFII ULTRA INFINITY" -I found this one for 42 bucks on pricewatch

feek free to include your own, and leave comments,thanks!

I was looking at the wrong mobo for the dfi.The best I can find is $78 shipped on gameve.com, but I found the shuttle for $58 shipped, and the nf7 v2.0 for $68. Right now im leaning more toward the shuttle. I just wana reach a 200X11 with a 2500 mobile

The Shuttle will max out @ about 220FSB and has no Soundstorm...
The Abit will Overclock just as good as the Infinity but with the Multipliers more than the FSB.
The Infinity will OC the best because it's FSB will reach the highest.

I haven't used or built with the Soltek but have read great things about the MoBo as well.

thanks led. I would go with the nf7 v2 but all the reviews I try searching for are only the nf7-s v2. Im kinda having a hard time believing the only difference is sata and soundstorm.I have a soundblaster 2 audigy so the ss isnt a big deal.

If you have the Audigy2 then go with the Shuttle best performance for $ value IMO and I have 1 running @ no sweat 220X11 with an earlier Barton when they weren't locked and you're Goin Mobile ;)

I'd go NF7-S again anyday...

My v1.0 mb kicks ass (click my sig)

The v2.0 mb is even better

No offense Noid but I have That Mobo as well and it doesn't do as well as my DFI Infinity...besides he don't need no Soundstorm with the Audigy, save $'s for the next upgrade and do the Shuttle can be had for less IMO

If all you want is 200x11 pick the cheapest board,.....any of them will do that. If you want the highest OC look at the DFI.
