Abit ones rulez, jc, macci, opp,... have one i believe. Perhaps wait for Abit IT7 Max2 Version 2 and Welcome to Extreme.

I can't say which one is better since I have never tried an Asus board. But I love my IT7 MAX and the MAX2. I have taken the IT7 MAX to 195FSB and run stable at that speed.

On the max 2 the highest I have taken it is 173FSB but this is only cause I was using air-cooling. I have no doubt it could run much higher.

Does this board have PCI/AGP lock ?? Are there any issues about this board related to its peripherial and overclock ability ??

thx

Yep, the IT7 has the fixed AGP/PCI setting.
Have the IT7 myself and I love it. Fast, stable and an excellent overclocker.
