I'm looking to put together an oc'ed Athlon XP mobile system. From what I gather, the DFI has the highest ram voltage of an NF2 board and is then potentially the greatest over clocker, while the NF7-S is the most stable, reliable NF2 mobo around and a forum favorite.
Which do you recommend?
I don't anticipate oc'ing my memory, as I'm currently looking at the 1gb kit of Kingston ValueRam PC3200 here...

...and so I don't imagine I'll be going much beyond a 200mhz fsb with a 12 or 12.5 multiplier on a 2500+ and so I don't think I'd use the DFI's extra voltage options. And while I'm reasonably confident in my ability to troubleshoot tech, at least with the help of internet sites such as this one, this will the first system I've put together with the intention of oc'ing and so stability, reliability, and relative simplicity would be nice.
Sounds like I've talked myself into the NF7-S, but I'd still like to know what you all think.
Thanks
