Most opinions are that it's pretty much similar to the NF7-S V2.0. The only significant difference being it has the uGuru gizmo the usefulness of which is open to debate.

There was also quite a big thread in the USA Abit forums, which got closed by Abit, after the first buyers noted that a mod had been done on the boards 'post production' which involved cutting a few 'traces' on the underside of the board. As well as general instability problems that are being posted I would find it difficult to suggest that they are a worthy successor to the NF7-S. Abit also mentioned that this would be their last Socket A board. If you really wanted to buy this board over the NF7 I would hold back just a little while and see how things work out with the first boards being 'modded' and how stable they are in use.

Ive had this board for a few weeks now and it has been fine, Ive manged to clock my 2600xp barton to 2433mhz, just got to get it stable now. I had the nf7-s v2.0 before this and this board will reach 210 fsb with this chip the nf7-s wouldnt but they both have the same chipset. Upto you really , theres not much difference. doughnut "CSS.PE" <CSS.PE RemoveThis @sncf.fr> wrote in message news:bt96f0$me0$1@muguet.sncf.fr... > AN7 is good or bad /nf7-s ? > ><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: AN7 is good or bad /nf7-s ?

The cut trace is no longer there on the latest AN7's. I've been running a NF7-S V2.0 for many months and I should take delivery of an AN7 tomorrow so give me a few days and I'll be able to make a direct comparison.

Ah that's good to know, regarding the latest version of the board. I look forward to your feedback on the board Out of curiosity where are you getting it from and is have they released a new revision to distinguish between the 'cut' board and the latest one..?

as far as I can tell, the AN7 is identical to the NF7-S except it doesn't have the SoundStorm audio, but does have this new hardware logic chip uGuru which measures temps. voltage etc better than the NF7-S -- Wayne ][ >> Stay informed about: AN7 is good or bad /nf7-s ?
