Neither. The NF7-S is more advanced and only lacks the uRetard chip found on AN7 boards.
Yes, uGuru's true identity has been uncovered as uRetard: Overclocking for moronic Retards.

The perfect AMD AthlonXP board is established to be the NF7-S, why try something
else with a load of other problems you may or may not run in to? NF7-S...

You want high FSB or High CPU speed?

MaTtsPc · 15-June-04, 11:26 PM

both! i want the options to go eaither high fsb or core speed!

KayinStorm · 15-June-04, 11:28 PM

Sorry, this is either/or, not both/and.

DFI will easily surpass Abit's FSB, but for eventual core clocks, the Abt normally wins out. Even with volt mods, these things normally hold true.

i just want something that i can play around with you know? so should i just go with the Abit AN7? i really like Abit ive owed a couple of there boards an every one has owed!

here is something to try.....go P4 for a while. i did it after having a extreme (at the time) overclocked AMD rig. i am happy wher i am right now, and it allowed me to see how the other half lives. you should be able to get into a good board and proc for under 300 bones. something like a IC7 (not a max or anything, just IC7) and a 2.6C....should net you 3.4 3.5 Ghz....again just an idea....
