Seriously tho, i've had my NF7-S V2 for 4~5 months... not had a problem with it, rock stable and the onboard sound is awsome. :)
I went with the abit one myself as i heard it had better overclocking abilities
austin you mention possible poor performance form the onboard s-ata controller on the abit. is this documented or would i have been better off with a p-ata hdd instead?
Overal, I think the abit board is superior but if you can get the asus one for £55 then I'd go for that option. The difference between them isn't worth 40%+, especially if you're not going to seriously overclock your system.
:confused: Well there is a known corruption issue which requires an obscure BIOS setting to be set to 1ms (ideally), maybe that slows it down? All I know is my 120GB Maxtor SATA150 7200-8 doesn't seem any faster than my previous 7200-8 or 7200-2 and may be slower. In Sandra I get (IIRC) 20000 which if you check is in line with a 30GB ATA66 or something. I've defragged, scandisked, latest drivers from nVidia and Abit and latest mobo BIOS. I'm at a loss why I get such poor perf, maybe it's Sandra I don't know ... I just don't have time to do anything more intensive.Quote:
