Biostar M7NCD Pro vs. Abit KD7A?

[klingsor]

I have both boards. Ane because it was reccomended as a good gamers/overclockers board and the Abit because it came with a Fry's combo deal. I'm trying to decide which one to keep and which to build a cheap system for my parents. Anyone hace an opinion about which is a better board?

Both good boards. I'd go with the biostar cause Ive used it and its a very good overclocker. I hit 420fsb stable 200X11 with a 2500 barton@2310Mhz stable.(1.7vcore,2.8vmem)

The KT400a is a pretty good chipset. I had a msi KT400 and it was ok but the 400a is better in performance. I think I'd stick with the nforce board.

I got the same combo from Frys (KD&A with the 2600+). How are you overclocking it? I can't seem to get mine to run at 400 FSB. I have 512 MB of the Corsair PC3200 400mHZ ram, so I am not sure what my problem is.

What kind of results are you getting? And what are your setttings?

Keep the Biostar..... just make sure not to pair it with a sapphire radeon 9600 non pro.....
