Stuck between the Abit NF7 v2.0 nForce2 or the Asus A7N8X-X nForce2...
The Abit has the advantage of having dual memory controllers, but I have always known Asus to be reliable and stable.

What should I do !?!?

Got an ABIT NF7S, couldn't be happier, computer was ulta unreliable until I swapped to the ABIT motherboard (from an ASUS board - though not an N-Force one)

I too am a big fan of Asus but for my next mobo I will take a serious look at Abit as they seem to have the most overclocker friendly BIOS

i would go for Abit, just try and go on Asus's web site if u can wait 20 mins for it to load its that slow, there service and tech help is poor. where as on the other hand abits much better.

Tom's Hardware Guide had their 2003 Survey results published...

Asus was the top MoBo maker.

I use Asus... only buy them now as they are rock solid and reliable (a bit like myself)

Saying that, Abit come highly recommended by a lot of people too.

Decisions, decisions.
