which mobo

[gwyn]

hi all
iv been told that my Gigabyte GA-7VAXP is the bottleneck in my system. iv oc my mobile 2500 to 2.2 12.5 176 fsb and thats as far as I can push it so iv been thinking of getting something like an Abit NF7-S, is this the right choice or is there is a better choice.
If I got an Nforce 2 board would I notice a big performance boost as I like games like doom3 and farcry
thanks Gwyn.

heya Gwyn;

Since you probably bought that CPU for the sole purpose of OCing the hell out of it, then you probably have no other recourse then to try a different mobo, and the Abit is a good choice.
Good Luck
