It's the fastest performing nForce2 board available, offering the fastest performance for ALL Athlons available.
2 SATA Ports, with possibility of RAID, IDE-133, very spacious around the socket, the world's premiere integrated DSP with optical, dual channel memory, integrated and highly-efficient 10/100 LAN, the most customizable BIOS available for Athlons.
The only things I have a qualm with this board are the fact that it undervolts the CPU slightly. Setting Vcore at 1.75 produces around 1.70v, or a decrease of .05. This is nothing major.
Second is the lack of additional SATA ports. I would like to have seen 4 or 6 ports like the IC7-MAX3.
Really, other than that, I'm insanely impressed with this board. This was my second ABIT board ever purchased (as a replacement for my EPoX 8RDA+ which failed like the other EPoX I owned) and I'll definately be buying only ABIT boards from now on.
For the Athlon XP line, you simply cannot get a motherboard that offers better performance than the NF7-S 2.0
This board is NOT pricey as hell, coming in at just under $115 USD at the best online vendors.
