AOPEN AK79D and Abit NF7

[onesickcrx]

What do you guys think about these motherboards? They both have nforce 2 chipset, Just wondering if anybody have had problems with these two before please let me know before I buy them.

I have heard nothing about the Aopen board, but I know the Abit NF7 is an excellent Board, one of the best AMD boards money can buy - especially if you're overclocking.. the most reccomended nforce2 boards are:
Epox 8RDA+ - cheaper than others, plus good for OC (lacks SATA)
Abit NF7-S - lots of features excellent OCers board
Asus A7N8X Deluxe - LOADS of features (e.g. 2 LAN ports) reasonable for ocing, but a little expensive..

So out of your two choices, I'd recommend the Abit board, simply because it's a known performer. I'd consider the AOpen board only if there was a substantial price difference.

If you don't intend on using SATA, I'd reccomend the Epox board myself, as it'll save $15 or so.

I have an ABIT NF7 v2.0 (nForce2 Ultra 400). It's an great mobo. Performance/Stability/OC'ability is excellent
