Ok. So I got impatient on my current build.I just bought an x2 6000 oem from newegg and I needed a mobo. Since its 3.0ghz stock, I hadn't expected to overclock. I had been bidding on an abit nf-m2 nview on ebay but it finally got ridiculous for a refurb mobo. I finally decided on an abit nf-m2s. I couldn't find anything as far as a review online, but I did find the reviews on newegg to be positive. Its going into a lian li a05b, with th x2 6000 at stock, crucial ballistix tracers ddr2-667, and an x1900gt. As far as a value mobo goes, did I make a wise decision, or should I eat it and resell for a better mobo?

It was a pretty good buy, nothing wrong with it IMO.
Only negative i've read is that the pci-e 16x is actually 8x. Will this be an issue?

just a note, i had to move my 7800gt from a 16x slot to 8x once and noticed no realworld performance hit.
i dont have any comments for the motherboard, but the top of that case gets HOT, you should get a pci slot fan for the top of it, else the heat just pools up there
Yeah. I'm modding mine with a top blowhole.
don't have it but I do know that it's a more limited BIOS in terms of options than the nView.Thanks for the replies guys. Anyone else have this mobo and can comment on bios options?

Yeah dude the x1900gt is the best ATI card i've ever had. I don't plan on upgrading the video card until 8800gts models have a considerable price drop, which I imagine will be sometime near Christmas, Q1 of next year. This thing tears through every game out now, can't wait to pair it with my x2 6000 and see how things go.
