    Abit NF7-S 2.0 is better than both of those options; I'm sure The Horde will back me up on this.

    But for ease in overclocking, ease of use, and overclocking potential, the Abit wins hands down.

    For overclocking, the NF7-S 2.0 is the best board on the market, and that's coming from a person that perfers ASUS most of the time.

    However, the A7N8X-Deluxe 2.0 (I'm not familiar with the -E, I'd have to look at it) is a good board as well. It just does not overclock as well as the NF7 does. Although I haven't used the A7N8X 2.0, my guess is that it doesn't overclock anywhere near as well as the NF7 does, in fact.

    That's what I was wondering.

    I was staring at the blank post and wondering if something more...Pertinent was designed to go there.

    The A7N8X-E Deluxe is usually only a few $ more than the normal Deluxe... the difference is the E model has Gigabit Ethernet. I'd say go with the E.

    //edit:
    And for the rest of you jokers... the question wasn't "which mobo" it was "which ASUS"... :werr:

    Hahahaha, well, it looks like i might have to go with the audience on this one. Im lookin for a board that will be stable and a good performer aswell. So i guess i'll go with the abit (its cheaper too!)

    Make sure you get the NF7-S v 2.0... the 1.2 was somewhat lame.
