Here's the deal, i'm considering upgrading my mobo from my 8k5a2+ to a nforce2 ...and there is three different boards i'm currently considering.

ASUS A7N8X deluxe

Abit NF7-S

Epox 8RDA+

Which one do you guys recommend?

I don't know much about any of em, but going just by brand I can say that I personally love Epox boards - very stable at screaming FSBs so far for me (but not in me personal rig though ... damn OCZ to a bloody burning inferno in hell!)

Re: So...which nforce2 mobo??

Well if you want my opinion, the Epox 8RDA is the best board out for stability and overclockability, im running it with 2100+ Tbred B CPU and 512MB DDR PC3200 XMS corsiar ram and I'm currently at a little over 2500MHz on air cooling :-)

And what about Chaintech 7NJS? Why it wasn't in the poll?

One of these NForce2 boards has extremely lame C-Media sound instead of NVIDIA's one. Which one?
Because this one sucks before even starting discussion.

BTW, Chaintech 7NJS is good featured, and most expensive.

OK. Now think about WITHOUT Vmods. Then it is the Chaintech. Chaintech lets you change Vdimm to like 3.1 and the ram to 2.x. Now that's a crazy board stock
