OptikaliLLusion Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 A7N8X is in stock, ready to order tomorrow, whereas the NF7-s is OOS. Am I sacrificing anything from the NF7-s by getting the A7N8X (exclude the tiny things)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 I vote for the Asus. You won't lose anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Okay... how are you enjoying the 8X-X? It is cheaper than the -E, is it worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 It's good, but lacks two things some people really want. Dual channel RAM and SATA. It's a great board, but also a budget board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Argh... I need both. -E DX for me then! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Looking @ both spec sheets... both have the Ultra 400 chipset, but ONLY the NF7-s v2.0 has active NB cooling... * Abit supports 0.8/1.5V cards, namely AGP 4X/8X, whilst Asus ONLY supports AGP(pro) 8X (1.5v) * Asus has dual LAN + 1 WiFi expansion slot, Abit is single LAN 10/100 ONLY * Abit supports (onboard) 2.88 floppy drive, Asus doesn't I'm sure there's more, but I'll let you compare NF7-s V2.0 Asus a7n8x-e Just a closing point though... what features do you really need, and just WHY is the Abit outta' stock? more popular? better value? <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 The NF7-S is the better board for overclocking since it supports higher voltage options, which you'll need when you get your w/c. The DFI Infinity/Lanparty NF2 and NF7-S boards are the best for o/c'ing currently. Also the Abit NF7-S can probably hit a higher fsb in some cases, although the DFI owns just about everything when it comes to AMD fsb overclocking.

the11ama Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 You can add active NB cooling to the Asus board, and there are volt mods and the uber-bios roms, so there's really no loss there. Besides, who really uses 2.88MB floppies? I have yet to see one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the11ama Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 That's an easy, yet far more expensive, way to go about it. Have you tried any of the board mods? I can get mine to go to 222, but I need better ram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
