Abit NF7-S2G
DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra B or DFI NFII Infiity
Gigabyte 7NNXP

was running...

Geforce2MX (looking to upgrade)

a lot of people get really good overclocks with the NF7-S, my friend got his 1700+ T-Bred B to 2.2Ghz (3200+) with that board!

I don't think you can go wrong with the DFI board you list. DO NOT get the Abit NF7-S2G ..
if you want to OC the Abit board you want is the
NF7-S

nf7-s is a great board i also like the dfi infinity nf2

the nf7-s isnt a bad board at all, but dfi infinity is awesome. all that i have been involved with do 250+fsb on a bad bios, 260+ on a better one (hacked 6-19s are great, along with 05-05). they suposedly have good tech support, though i've never had a problem, and thermal protection saved my butt more than once. good features and a good price. it blows everything away!!!

o, the lanparty comes with lots of goodies, like carrying strap, cables, and frontx, if you have the extra dough, get the lanparty. the boards are nearly identical, and you can use the two boards' bioses interchangably (this was written on a dfi infinity at 250+fsb with a lanparty bios)

The DFI board is in a league above the Abit board. The OCs and performance on that board are incredible. Get some awesome RAM and a mobile 2400+ barton and have fun!!!

1. DFI NFII Lanparty Infinity
2. Abit NF7-S
3. (stability and features: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe) (Features and OCing: Gigabyte GA7NNXP)
4. (Value) Shuttle AN35N-Ultra
