dfi infinity vs. abit nf7-s

[CrimandEvil]

I don't see any optical ports on it, just the coax ones but I see them on the NF7-S.

The infinity has the Soundstorm, right? Does it do coax out, or optical? I want/need coax....

You're in luck, as Crimand said the Infinity uses Coax.

Does the Infinity have coax in or an optical in bracket? I need optical in for my PS2 so I might have to get the Abit board instead.

Thanks GTP_driver, I had completely forgot about that. I think I might have a cable for it too. Although I still might have to bite the bullet and get an Audigy2 card in the long run.

Coax in. The Abit doesn't have anything in, only optical out except perhaps if there is a header onboard you could use if you have the appropriate connector.

Opps I was thinking of the AN7. <shudders>
