I need a new mobo for my Northwood based rig (1.6a, Antec TruePower 430W, Leadtek GF4 TI4400, CoolerMaster210,Mushkin pc3000 256mb) , i have possibility to get one of Abit socket 478 newest boards (IT7&BD7-II)

Both seem to have great features (especially the IT7 which full with them ), but i care more about the OC potencial - i just want to take the board which will give me better OC options and abillity- which one of the this two would fill this requitments?

P.S- i heard that the 3:4 ratio is missing in the IT7, is it true?
and what is the highest vcore in the BD7-II? 1.725?

Thanks

about the 3:4 ratio, it is available, but you have to set cpu to low to get it, about the rest: i don't know. I have an it-7 myself and it oc's well for me.

IT7 is the hot Idem. It's a better mobo then the BD7. It overclocks great.

The IT7 is the best motherboard at the moment! It's just awesome!

I Had a Th7 2! And it's not bad! But Rambus is not as stable as ddr! I had many stability Problems, even when i was running @ default speed! I do not know if it was only a bad board or bad memory, but it was very unstable!
Now i Own a IT7 and some applications are even faster then with ram´bus, p.e Seti is running much faster than with rambus!
And the most important point, it is so stable, after buying these board with ddr, i haven't had a freeze or something!
And if you overclock the memory, it is almost as fast as rambus!
