Ooh, good luck. I've got the same CPU and same board as you, and they OC nicely. I just had to back mine off because my appartment gets hot hot hot in the summer.
GHoosdum, my A7N8X-Dlx is the same rev as yours and has the A2 northbridge. I'm running a 2500+ at 187 X 12.5 on my board as it isn't stable at all running a 200 fsb, no matter what multi I have selected, thus taking the overclock out of the equation. My highest stable fsb for my board is 187-188. This is with the latest bios rev also.
It arrived via FedEx today. I will check it out and see if I can get a 200FSB... I hope I can, otherwise my next five weeks of PC savings are going toward an nF2 ultra board!
You can also get an NF7-S 2.0 over at excaliberpc.com for $114 including shipping. I just got one in yesterday to replace my Asus board with; that's going to be my weekend project.;) The board is damn nice and comes with a good assortment of accessories too, including a serillel adapter to put an IDE hard drive on onw of the SATA channels.
I have the box sitting on my desk... so close yet so far away! I've got a week of exams at school now so I have no idea when I'll be able to install the Barton. Carp! :banghead:

Hrm... I don't buy Abit anymore... ever since my sister's PCChips board outlived my Abit board... when the Abit was not OC'd, not undercooled, not pushed to the limit in any way.
