crunch time!


ive had my heart set on a barton and a NF7 for some time now, as im currently running a p3 at 1.0ghz and its time for a upgrade. i got some cash together and picked up some pc3700 ocz cl2.5 memory and a barton(week 46). i was planning on picking up a nf7-s in about a week, but as ive gone through the formums lately there has been a rash of people very unhappy with the nf7's. at the same time, there have been some great results with a dfi nf2 board, lanparty if i remember correctly. i plan on this system to last until im ready to buy a very mature ddr2/pciX/tejas or 90nm hammer. so which one is the better buy, i am going to oc as far as it will go with air cooling and no more then 1.9 volts

I've owned both the NF7-S and the Infinity; the Infinity is the much superior board in that it runs higher FSBs, doesn't have issues with having the CPU interface enabled and has some fantastic BIOS support.
