it's not perfect, but it's damn good. Running my 2500+ at 10x200fsb.

I'm fairly set on that board too. AT rated it high in the 6 way nForce2 roundup...

I have this board and I'm running at 1700xp at 10.0x201. The only problem I have is that my sound sometimes makes some odd noises, but nothing really jarring. I'm pretty sure I just need to put some kind of cooling on the southbridge chip.

Had mine up and running with no problems...no problems since either. Solid, nicely featured board and the price is right!

Mine's working great too.

I love mine as well. :heart:

Great board. Very picky with memory. TwinMos 3200 is highly recommended.

Well, it's no more picky with memory than any other nForce2 boards. The only memory sticks that might still give these boards problems is some batches of 512 MB PC2700, from either Crucial or Kingston's ValueRAM line. But that's mostly been filtered through now.

ah, crucial and kingston eh ? was just about to order this for a friend.... hrmm

Which popular Nforce2 board is the least picky about memory ( and PS for that matter ) ? -thanks

 

[MARMADUKE]

They are all the same!
