I'm looking to buy a new nforce2 motherboard to house a 2500 XP+ (barton). I was recently using the MSI K7N2-DELTA-ILSR but had alot of stability problems with it (horrible time finding memory that worked well with it) and finally it crapped out on me. I won't be buying another MSI product for awhile
I've done some reading and it seems like the best options available to me are the ABIT NF7-S or the ASUS A7N8X-E, although I'm completely open to any suggestions (DFI boards have been recomended to me, but I haven't seen them in any local stores).
Here's what I'm looking for:
Serial ATA (Raid)
Soundstorm Audio
Quality LAN
This is what I already have to work with....
2x512 PC3200 OCZ EL Dual Channel Memory
2X 80GB Seagate S-ATA Hardrives (8mb cache)
Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W Power Supply
Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card
16X Sony DVD
Plextor PlexWriter 52/24/52A
Any suggestions or possible conflicts I should avoid?
