You ever get a replacement man>?
I'll prolly continue to buy ABIT for the foreseeable future.
the NF7-S 2.0 is the best motherboard I have ever owned, which is prolly why I have 3 of them and 2 of my friends have them. All of them are running overclocked Athlon XP's, 4 of which are running @ 3200+ speeds or higher. The that isn't clocked @ 3200+ or higher contains a 2000+ athlon xp that is clocked @ 2400+ levels.
Buddy of mine has had problems from ABIT and intel chipsets, but most all of the problems were directly related to insanely high Overclocking situations or user error.
ABIT boards are bullet proof when it comes to running a computer @ stock speeds, and are at the top of my list when it comes to wanting a board that will overclock.
