I need something with mounting holes, and will hit like anything above 215fsb.
I was looking and found some boards, but can't see if they have the 4 mounting holes. Does anyone know if these boards have them?
shuttle An35N400 (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241240)
or
MSI K7N2 (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241094)

Try soltek there was a board on sale a week ago at
Newegg.com it had the holes and that site has great
pictures. I never ever shop anyplace else!!!:toast:

I had an NF7-S, and I wasn't impressed with it, and I'm still trying to get Abit To RMA it after it died on me.
I don't want an abit board, and the soltek is like $95.
If anywhere still sold an 8RDA I'd pick one of those up.
From what i've see that cheap Albatron NF2 board is ok... It's only like $60 at Newegg.
EDIT/ Oops... No mounting holes

I have the Shuttle AN35N Ultra, sitting in its box 'til I have time to set it up. Same as the 400 except for the NB. It has the four mounting holes on the board.
OT - if anyone knows of a Vdimm or Vdd mod for this board (especially the Vdimm) please LMK. Thanks!

I've built several Shuttle AN35N Ultra's. Excellent little mobo's for the $$$. I pulled my epox 8rda and replaced it w/ one. 220fsb and no mods. :D
You just can't beat 'em for $60 shipped. :toast:

Wow, 220 fsb?
Man, maybe I'll just go with it then.
yea, I am.

I found out that setting the RAM to aggressive actually allowed pushing the fsb higher.
Here's a lengthy thread on the AN35N:

I got the shuttle AN35 ultra.....$62-15 mail in rebate at newegg.
If not this, it would have been the epox.
