I love the Abit NF7-S v2.0 Mobo a lot.
Seconded - NF7-S V2.0 seems to be the one to go for.
I got two
Obviously NF7-S Rev2.0 & AMD Barton 2500+
Rig1: Asus A7N8X-X | AMD Athlon XP 2600+ @ 2200Mhz | Radeon 9800 Pro | Cooler Master Jet 7 | 512MB Samsung DDR400
Rig2: Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0 | AMD Athlon XP 2500+ | Cooler Master Aero 7+ | Skystar 2 DVB Card | 256MB Crucial DDR333
How much do you want to spend? IMO its got to be nForce 2 chip set board.
ABIT NF7-S V2.0 @ £82.25 Dual Channel (need two sticks of ram to run in dual mode)
ASUS A7N8X-X @ £59.93 Single Channel
add a Barton from Cpu City XP 2500 and you shoud have XP 3200 performace
think i will go with the abit and the 2500 chip then cheers guys

I'll 2nd that - my barton from cpu city arrived today & I achieved 200fsb (working up from 166 in increments of 5) without any trouble.
Have a lookhere for more info. on this.
I'm using a A7N8X btw.
Ill make it 4th to back the Nf7-S v2.0 100%!
EDIT: 2500+ Barton AXQUDA (i think) stepping from cpucity.co.uk are very gd for overclocking atm.
