I ussually shop at newegg.com and on it i found ....only that EPoX EP-8RDA3+PRO Socket A (Socket 462) NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail for about $70 plus tax and shipping ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...33#DetailSpecs ) it's a little strange though how there aren't many socket a mobo's there but what i'm looking for is: something that will support my athlon xp 2800+, sata hdd, has dual channel ram and at ddr 400, and the fsb of the mobo to be 333/400ish, and any chipset but sis or via : P. Is the mobo i posted above a good selection though? something for gaming so a solid mobo that can also be overclocked. spending probably less than $100 as well

Re: looking for good socket A mobo
I was bidding on what the seller thought was the S version until the last day he realised it was just a nf7 v2 board. what are the differences between them though?
also: Abit NF7-S2 & Abit NF7-S Revision 2.0 these are two different motherboards and the s2 has dual channel over he rev 2. which board are you talking about?Last edited by GBRRICCI; 01-15-2006, 01:24 PM.

You don't have to shop at eBay, either. You can just setup an account at the Anandtech forums and grab an NF7-S for $50-$60 there. I see those and a lot of volt-modded A7N8XE-Deluxe going on AT all the time, so you should have any problems.
