Nforce 2 v2.0

[Cydewayze]

I'm confused. My old KT266A just burned out, so needless to say i'm in the market for a new mainboard. Becuase I plan on OCing, I would like to know which manufactures have released v2.0 (Ultra 400) versions of their Nforce 2 boards. Has for example, EPOX or Abit? I have XMS RAM, I plan on buying a 2500 Barton, thus require a board that OC's well.

I know asus did, but i dont know the model number.

Most all have but make sure you don't buy old stock.
Some of the more popular o'clocking boards are
ASUS a7n8x-deluxe
Abit NFS-7
Soltek Model SL-75MRN-L
Epox EP-8RDA+

Just look for the bells and whistles you want first...and make sure the revision you get is second generation and capable of 200 Mhz FSB.

Get the MSI K7N2 Delta-L, its like whoa.

abit NF7-s rev2 @ excaliberpc for $109 , great deal

Asus did not. In fact, according to the most recent maximumPC Asus does not promise it can do 200x2 Mhz on their boards. I think you are best off with the MSI or Abit.

Check out the DFI LanParty NFII Ultra board:


DFI LanParty NFII Ultra


I know what your thinking " WTF ! DFI ! " but it is a very high quality board and quite a few extras as well. Very stable O/C'r with many users hitting 230 FSB. I like it even better then my ASUS A7N8X Deluxe board I have in my system. Check out the last page in the review for pict's of the UV sensitive board :beer:

That's news to me. According to Asus' website, every A7N8X version can support the 200MHz FSB Barton 3200+ with the latest bios. Also there are version 2 boards that use the C18 NB chipset which is the Ultra 400 I believe. Of course, if your board does have problems with 200MHz, then you can talk to Asus about getting a board that does work.

Anyway, if I were buying an nForce board today, I'd get the Abit model. Peace.
