Processor Compatibility for ABIT - AN7

[Diavan]

I have Atholn XP 2500+ (Barton) with 333MHz FSB.
Is it be compatible with Abit AN7.
Thanks

Yes

I already have Abit-KV7, and even though the specs says it should be compatible with 2500+, but I'm having posting problems. Sometimes it posts though, but hangs up later on. I even tried changing the RAM's but no use.
I had this KV7 replaced earlier cuz the previous KV7 had AGP slot problem. But the same processor and RAM were working fine with a PCI video card.
Now this replacement has different problems. I am thinking about replacing it with either NF7-S or AN7, whichever would work on this processor.
Any suggestion - which one is better AN7 or NF-7, with least problems and headaches.
Thanks.

The NF7-S is already a proven board; awesome overclocker, very stable, and Soundstorm!

The AN7 is a farily new board, but has some of the same attributes of the NF7-S. It also has uGuru which could be very helpful for overclocking. I recommend the NF7-S right now 'cause the AN7 is new and might be buggy. If you want the AN7 though, I'd wait for a new revision.
