I want to buy N-fource motherboard for O.C
what is the best??
I saw the 8RDA3+ (epox) and the NF-7s (ABIT)
I been told that the ABIT is better but I saw that his FSB is only 200/266/333MHz not 400Mhz and this is the best board they have

get the 8rda+ mobo.....83 bucks at newegg and it can get to 200 front side clock easily

the barton 2500 is probably the best overclocker for the money

i've got the 2800 and can get 2.4ghz but so can the barton 2500

make sure you get good ram if your overclocking. corsair or crucial are my favs.

pushing 250 on any nforce2 board is pretty hard...

i've been able to load windows at 235 mhz and that wasn't even stable (limited by ram)...

you will need to get your vdd voltage way up (via the vdd mod) and your memory voltage up as well (but maybe not considering they now have ddr500 out that can run 250 mhz @ 2/4/48 or whatever)
