T-Bird the NF7 has onboard sound also, I think it would be hard to buy a MB now days that comes without onboard sound of some kind, but who knows, I hope it is a NF7-S. Edit to add: if it has the Nvidia Soundstorm sound, then it is a NF7-S.

that depends, if the vendor is not an authorized reseller...............
maybe then it would go by manu date, s/n, something like that.

you will learn soon enough, grasshopper.
check the bios ID string when you get the unit, the factory revison that is on the board will go a long way towards determining the age of the board in the first place. then a trip to this spot (look for sticky about 10 sticky posts down):

for the most recent bios update files. make sure you update with the CORRECT bios, this means don't force the 'S' version onto a non 'S' version, and vise versa.
hope this works out for you.

flashing the bios is very risky, its best not to mess with it unless you need support for tomorrows hardware, such as bartons or higher speed cpus or a certain feature or something
yer cracked in da head.
the newest NF7 (s) bios' are reported to allow many to clock higher FSB stable.
don't be a stick in the mud, i have flashed my Abit board with the newest bios's six or seven times, either in dos, the old way, or with the Abit updater within windows. the first couple were a result of my screwups (bios savior, SYA, save yer a$$), the rest the natural course of updates when they became available.
all these bios updates were done with the cpu still clocked to the max on the prommie.
updating the bios is a snap, get over it. if the bios update borks, i can almost guarantee the board was giving signs of flakey behavior before the update.
