I had a rev 1 (166 only) NF2 Epox 8RDA MB. Unfortualy it's ATX conector melted for uknown reason. The CPU, RAM, and everything else is fine. Its my rig in my sig. I need a cheap good replacement MB based on the NF2, it can have embedded video (better than my GF2 GTS), and I really want the MCP-T southbridge. It needs to have really good overclocking and monitoring features. SATA is not needed and would be annoying in my case (no money for SATA drives in the next 2-3 years) and I don't need the extra cost.

Hrm well the Abit NF7 and NF7-S are the 2 best ocing mobos for amd. If you don't need the extra features on the NF7-S the NF7 is pretty cheap for ocing you get out of it.

The NF7-S used to be the best. But from what i've been reading
the recent ones don't do as well.
Has any NF7-S ever reached 262fsb without hard mods?
If not you might want to take a look at Soltek.
Yeah, that's right. Soltek.
SL-75FRN2 = 262fsb

I run the shuttle AN35N ultra, check sig for details on my rig. Balrog runs that and I know he'd praise that board too.

i had a nf7 that can do 280mhz without any voltmod, totally unstable but have done it, cpu int disable, dual channel 3-4-4-5 timings (270mhz cpu int enable)
and now i have changed it because had multiplier problem, and have a nf7 that can do at 1.5v vdd, all stock no vmod 265mhz for shot (with sandramem) DC cpu int enable 2.5-3-4-11 and 4gb/s sandramem, and no issue with any multiplier!
but it's not a single board that makes the difference...
for now my votes go to NF7 (or NF7-S) V2.0 and DFI Infinity
DFI seems to have better bios, better fsb clocking but only 2v vcore overvolting (simple to vmod)

"totally unstable" ... Gee, that's useful.
Sorry if that seemed a little harsh. I just get so tired
of people quoting their highest post screen instead of
what their system will do while STABLE.

you say that soltek is a good board and probably the highter clocker board...
i say that with my abit i can hit 280 totally unstable, and in the 3d that you have linked with soltek hook say this
so your answer to my post is totally senseless, because i have answer to your first post on soltek...
also Hook can hit 265 and can't benchmark anything at 265, have ram a 3-5-5-8 and probably very poor performance... (and cpu interface disable)
and probably can't use multiplier highter than 8x, because nforce2 gain 15-20mhz of fsb with multiplier 7-7.5-8x... so if you can hit 270mhz at 8x you probably can hit only 250mhz at 10x, and with the same instability that at 270mhz 8x....
so watch my NF7-S V2.0, without ANY vmod, with 2*A-Data PC4000, cpu interface enable (with disable gain another 10mhz of fsb but is useless), timings at 2.5-3-4-11
so i say, Soltek (without extreme vmod) isn't absolutelly the best board for overclocking, probably a good board, but the best are Abit NF7-S V2.0 and DFI Infinity/Lanparty Rev B
