Epox 8rda+ Vs Abit Nf7? What Is Better?

[adamginz15]

I WOULD LIKE TO GET A NEW MOTHERBOARD
WHAT IS BETTER AND CAN SUPPLY ME WITH MORE FSB?

[starck]

I think it really depends on what other components you have, like what kind of ram and one of the more important fact is, *tada*, LUCK.
Some are getting high FSB without any mods, some are getting low fsb even with VDD sets to 2.0v.
Just get something you want, I mean both boards are great, just what kind of features and price you see fit.
For me, my Asus A7N8X is doing fine without any mods, running @211fsb and benchable @220 fsb, lucky

my system is:
abit nf7 / 8rda+ i didnt dicide yet
and geil/kingston didntdicide yet
w/ amd 2100+ t-bred rev. b

I'd suggest, if you wanna buy now, get the 8rda+, if you can wait a week or two, the NF7-S rev 1.2 mentioned in this post, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&threadid=9731 , seems to be a great board.
As for the ram, people here have had great results using Kingston HyperX and Corsair XMS.

I hope the new revision Abit stomps the Epox into the ground. I hate the preparation required to do any decent FSB speeds with it (most people reporting the 185 - 205mhz FSB range).

Another board to consider may be Epox 8RGA+

VDD upto 2.0v

And you can run 2.2v on the Vcore as it has new Votlage regulation (powered by 12v line)

I had one running a unlocked duron (all I had at the time) upto 220fsb with 1.8 VDD

not many boards out there yet, but soemthing to look out for.

yeah, if you can wait just a little bit, there seems to be boards with great potential about to be released by both Epox and Abit. This is mainly because of the ability to adjust the vdd without mods.

Hey Mickey those are some kickass benchmarks' bro. I really will have almost the exact same setup as you. Except the Graphics Card. which I'm upgrading to a R350 when available. Wow though man, I'm excited to get the rest of my hardware to do benchmarks'. Congrats though. You make me anxious.
