Without going into motherboard models that much, I'd just like to know if you think buying a motherboard based on Nforce2 (ultra) is 'safe' enough these days. I hear a lot of complaints about motherboards that were returned/replaced etc. and a lot of frustration with NF2/
I have no problem with KT600, but it can not be overclocked to the level of NF2/

no problems with my A7N8X DLX Rev 2.0 of course a lot of the problems were fixed with the 2nd revisions of the nforce2 boards by now about all retailers sell only rev 2 so any purchases should be pretty safe IMO.

You probably heard so many "bad stories" from NF2 owners because they seem to be have been MUCH more popular than the KT600, so more people are buying them, and therefore there's more people (though not necessairly a higher percentage) of people who may experience problems, many of which were ID-10-T or USR errors anyway! ;)

I've been thoroughly happy with my rev1 Epox 8RDA+ :)

Well said, and AMEN to that 8rda+... Having no issues with mine. ( Had some slight popping, very slight but that has since been fixed )
