well im getting another motherboard in hopes of better performance, and i was wondering whether i should get the new v2.0 nf7-2 or the 8rda+ with a1 northbridge. My board now tops out at 210fsb DC with the VDD mod.

It's a personal choice.. Both are good boards. I'm going for the Abit because I have the 8RDA+ now. I just want to know how far I can push the Abit
ive used nf7 1.2 and 8rda modded.
i like the abit better,seems more stable and also the failed oc's tend to be alot easier to deal with also.
kinda liek comparing a camaro to a caddy,both go fast but one does it in style.
btw i just sold my backup 8rda and have a nf7-s rev2 on irs way
Alright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer. -HJS-[/color][/size]

My votes on the NF7-S also, both are great boards though.
8RGA+ instead of the 8RDA+...no VDD mod and the voltage option goes up to 2.0v's (VDD) if needed.

Unless you are mod crazy, grab the Abit.
mod crazy on a 8RGA+...the 8RGA non/+ doesn't need a VDD mod
Also...if you don't need all of the whistles and bells...the 8RGA might be in your price range...

What do you mean whistles and bells? What does 8rga lack
I have a modded 8RDA+ and an non modded NF7-S v1.2, the NF7-S is definitely the better board, and you now have V2 NF7-S.
Get one of them
does hte nf7-s have raid?
yeh supposedly sata raid. but ive not seen one person get it working either. doesnt mean it dont work,might just be newbies trying something a little to complicated also.
my second nf7-s rev2 will be here tomorow and ill have it doing sata raid if it works. ill report back also.

Please do becasue I know of a few people that are far from newbies that have the 1.2 and they can not get the SATA to run at all...and abit has kind of side stepped their emails about the problem...

i gave up on abit cuz of the bios deal, two wasted boards and lots of wasted time, i even ordered a spare bios from excaliber, that lasted for about 3 days. i had enough, and went with epox. my 8rda+ should be here tomorrow, hopefully with the A1 stepping.

Ive used ALOT of nforce2 boards, and the abit 1.2 was heads above the rest even my modded epox...until...until the ABIT 2.0 came out!!!
My 2.0 blew EVERYTHING away, 237fsb @ 1.6vdd mod free!... still has headroom with adjustable vdd in the bios
gotta love the CR18D chipset rawr
Let the OC'ing begin!
