    I see that you are using a n xp2500 with MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR This is what I was proposing to use in my first build attempt tho with pc3200 memory.
    Tig recons an Abit NF7 would be better
    Any comments

    I am really pleased with my MSI board, nice looking, nice featues, can take 1 more drive than other boards, and all at a nice price. The only thing I have to say is, especialy if this is your first build, do some research before you buy your RAM. I would probably look at the list of RAM which is suposed to work in it and then go buy the RAM, rather than finding the RAM you want and then hoping it works. But apart from the picky RAM on this board it is just as good, if not better than the NF7-S. The only thing the NF7-S has over this is its Software overclocking from windows (it does have that right ? ), which is nothing an less you are an OC freak, no offence Acid

    Abit NF7-S here
    AFAIK the NF7-S hasn't got an overclocking tool inside windows, who needs it when you've got Softmenu III in the BIOS

    oi

    Yeah it's a great clocker.... as many a user will tell you
    /me calls out to the XP1700+ hoard

    I'm still wary of windows tools that do the overclocking for you, I'm more in favour of the superb Softmenu 3 BIOS

    Yeah ABIT here too and damn happy with it.

    More voltage options than you can shake a stick at and with the option of running FSB @ 300!!!

    OK so maybe a little less than 90%

    Thanks for your reply seems you (and maybe me) are in a minority judgeing by your poll replies but nice to know someone is useing the mobo I am looking at. I realise there is a compatability issue and I was looking at using Twinmos pc3200 which I think is ok

    got the Soltek myself, was looking for a cheap replacement when i bought it, and it was certainly cheap, first one i got died after less than a day, got that replaced and the replacement is still going strong,

    when in my main machine it was fine at 180MHz FSB, limited by the ram, which is lame quite frankly, if i set the ram to 80% it will boot and run happily at 200MHz FSb, but is far slower, so sod that for a laugh

    currently got it running at 10x166 as a caseless cruncher with a lame psu, been on now at 100% load for just over 5 weeks, so not too shabby
