Give me a quick summery of NF7 history

[Dman877]

I have a NF7 I bought at least 2 years ago, anyway, I'm having trouble ocing a barton 2500 (non-mobile) and I'm beginning to think this board might not do 200 mhz fsb. Anyway, can someone break down the rev's and history of the NF7 for me? Did the early rev's only support 166 mhz?

NF7, NF7-S, NF7 Rev 2, etc....

i don't know the revision history, but i know that an nf7 bought two years ago would not have officially supported 200mhz fsb. the nforce2 chipset was not certified for that speed back then.

NF7: Base Setup
NF7-S: Base Setup + FireWire + nForce Soundstorm - Realtek codecs
NF7-M: Base Setup + Integrated nForce2 Video
NF7-S v.2: Base Setup + FireWire + nForce Soundstorm + 200Mhz FSB Support - Realtek codecs

They really degrade the quality of the audio output unless you use S/PDIF which bypass them.
