I have the A7N8X Deluxe and it is awesome. I reccomend it over the Abit NF7 all the way. The only edge the Abit board has over the Asus one is Overclocking. My buddy has the NF7 and it is awesome for overclocking but the A7N8X Deluxe has better features and is a better overall board. You have to ask yourself what you want to do with your
CPU, overclock or not ? I have had nothing but trouble overclocking with the A7N8X Deluxe but it could be due to other things, either way, you can't go wrong with Asus. Best company out there, I am a fan for life of theirs.
