    the Best nForce2?

    What is the absolute best nForce2 mobo out there? Someone told me it is the Chaintech 7NJS-Zentith. Also, what is the best intel mobo? I was thinking Chaintech ahd the best, but then I saw the IC7-G and I am thinking that is the best. Thanks.

    ???? Isn't the IC7-G an Intel platform? I thought you're asking 'bout nForce2 mobos? If you're talking 'bout nForce2 mobo, then my vote goes to the Abit NF7-Srev2.0. Great OCing potential and downright stable, with no compatibility issue (that I'm aware of). Think about it!

    IMHO, the two best Nforce2 MB`s right now is the asus A7N8X rev. 2.0 and the abit NF7-S rev.2.0(the abit MB will get a higher overclock then the asus).

    Ok, thanks. I just thought I'd include a question of which Mobo is the best Intel Mobo, instead of posting another thread to ask it. So is that IC7-G the best board? vertices used it to achieve his high score.

    Do you know anything about the 7NJS-Zenith? I really like it because it coems with round cables and nice extras. I have also heard that it performs with the best of the best.

    my vote goes for the DFI Lanparty, they took longer to introduce this motherboard, but they learned from the mistakes of all the other manufacturers who wanted their mobo to be the first available, and i think this motherboard came out a lot better becasue of it,
    and the Asus is a close second

    I just read some reviews on the Lanboy (or Lanparty) motherboard and am highly impressed. For those who like something different but want a board that can compare to teh Abit NF7 series or Asus A7N8X then this board is just the ticket.

    i have to say either the NF7-S rev. 2 or the Epox 8rda+. I'm thinking of RMAing my 8rda+ A1 ffor an NF7, so, i guess it's the Abit then.lol.
