Get an nforce2 board by companies other than MSI. Abit, Epox, Soltek all have solid nforce2 boards.

Either get the MSI K7N2 Variant or the Asus both using the NForce2 Chipset if you plan on overclocking. I'm using a MSI K7N2-ISLR and really like it.

LOL that's a really well thought out answer. "No." I would say go with the Asus board if you want to spend that much money. If you wanna save some cash so you can go to the strip club, bar, any club later then I would say go with the Epox. LOL don't hate me because I'm a computer nerd.

I really like the MSI K7N2-ISLR , its a bit more expensive .Ive heard that EPoX 8RDA's are good so , prob 1 of them or the ASUS cuz i heard they were reliable and we'll made. .. thank you

MSI is pretty much my last choice in mobos. There are much better brands to choose from.

On my MSI 865pe mobo with a P4 2.4C best I could do was 2.6ghz,over that it was no post.

Same cpu & peripherals with an Asus P4P800 I can reach 3.2ghz easy, you decide.
