    Bah, naysayers! I'll chime in with a vote for the ASUS. I've got a Deluxe 2.0 that hasn't had a problem since I got it, does 233MHz front side bus at stock chipset voltage and generally rocks.

    Very nice board, beaten only by the Leadtek I looked at recently for HEXUS.

    Never seen the ABIT personally, and I'm sure it's nice, but there are others just as good

    If Leadtek send me the Deluxe Limited back, sure They might do actually, so if that happens and you are serious, I'll let you know.

    erm tbh while the Abit is not the best nforce2 mobo (i rekon the MSI delta ILSR is) the Asus is DEFINITELY not, they have a very very annoying bios problem, in which the bios will sometimes decide to corrupt itself if you try any overclocking. I've had to take 2 boards back cos of this problem and if you search google you will find thousands of ppl who have this problem - with either revision of the board (it happened to me with both the rev1 and rev2)

    Back up your statments. No good just saying "I think this one is better", explain WHY you think its better !

    Also, that BIOS issue effected all Nforce2 boards, although it hit the ASUS a lot more than others for some reason.
    It is sorted now though in all the latest BIOS's.

    Agent it is NOT sorted with the latest bios's, its an ongoing problem, and until it is fixed (which may never happen) the asus board will never be the best - it is a great board and without this bios corruption problem I would love it and still have one My reason for not liking it is the bios problem...

    As for why i think the MSI is better, it's just my personal preference, theres no real solid reason as to why its better than the abit i suppose - other than its price (its a few £ cheaper where i got mine from)

    Blimey !
    I know Nvidia gave them all a reference BIOS that fixed the issue, and that most companys released a BIOS that solved the issue ( Abit, Epox, MSI ect.) Im very supprised to hear that ASUS is that far behind.
