What would be the next board to get...the nf7(s) supposedly have problems w/ 2x512 sticks at >200fsb. (and i already have the ram...) Also, I would like to use the Zalman 7000A-AlCu as the cooler, so that also doesn't work w/ the Abit boards....

so what would be the next best mb to get...it needs to overclock well but I don't need many other features (ie, I could use the nf7 vs. the nf7-s other than the above mentioned problems.)

Asus A7n8x deluxe
DFI lanparty
others?

of course I want to stick w/ nforce2.

i also have the zalman 7000 cooler-nice choice, they are great.

if going intel- i have the abit-ic7-g max 2 advance- overclockers dream

if amd-

have seen the dfi board at frys electronics -does look nice, have had 3 nforce 2 boards-abit nf7-s , gig ga-7n400 pro- asus a7n8 deluxe-

this is my favorite-

gig ga-7n400 pro-

the gig raid is slow on it, but i use serial raid 0, it works great on the gig board.

running seriall raid on the abit board- get file corruption at boot sometimes and it runs checkdisk, i never have this problem with the gig board
