yep, if you want 200fsb you're best bet is just getting an nforce2 board....Shuttle AN35N Ultra would be perfect.Quote:

KT600 has the 1/6 divider iirc so it runs at 66/33 when it's at 200FSB... I haven't seen KT400 doing well in FSB overclocking, afaik even KT333 does a better job at it.
Interesting board!Quote:

So... Since it is a NF2, I cannot use the onboard nic for diskless booting?
Hmmm, 40/80.. Well poop... So what am I going to do with that board? He doesnt have another...
i don't know why you wouldn't be able to....most nforce2 boards with onboard LAN i've seen are capable of booting from LAN.Quote:

How about "MSI K7N2 delta ISLR"
Or something like that?
OMG... You mentioned MSI... IMO Stay away from their mobos...
I know how you feel!!!!Quote:

My choices are those two board... Which one? :( But the price is a great deal...
Seeing as those are your only choices, I would go with the MSI MB..
If you plan on doing moderate OC, stay FAR FAR AWAY from MSI mobos unless you're willing to do a small wire trick... afaik all MSI mobos only allow a max of 0.1v above stock vcore to adjust... Even including the NF2 chipsets... But then you can always fool the motherboard ;)
Hm... Ironic the NF7-S is $10 cheaper than the MSI board near my place... Actually NF7-S is the cheapest NF2 mobo compared to other brands (only the ones with full features ;))
I have a MSI delta board I got to play around with and it will o/c a Barton 2500 to 11x 200 no problem at all hell I used a $10 stick of ram in it so it can't be all that bad. It just didnt like my tbred! Newegg has some buffolo winbond ch-5 on the cheap that work sweet but I know cheap is not at the top of your list;) I like to see how little I can spend to make it work right but thats just me.:DQuote:

If I can get a stick of memory at 1/2 the price that would perform as well as something else... I would probably go with 1/2 the price.. Assume I am not sacrificing anything in the trade...
for motherboards, get a Abit NF7-S those are pretty good and cheap, or if you want, a Epox 8rda+ rev 2 or better... then your overclocking should be good, and it seems your barton could probably hit 200mhz FSB easy
True, but the point of what I got.. Is that it was a great deal for both of us... And he didnt have a NF7-S or whatnots...Quote:

I'll see how well this MSI board will go... I have some spare Kingston PC3000 sticks... And I'll see how well it will do :)
But the vcore is maxed out at 1.8v and vdimm at 2.7 (ouch!)
You already got the board???
