favorite motherboard you've owned?

FIC VA-503A+, truly enjoyed that board and it carried me to the very end of Socket 7 with a K6-3+ 450 @ 672Mhz 2.4v :D With 1mb onboard Cache it was a speedy rig that owned my PIII 550 that overheated on a regular basis (lotsa case cooling solved that) :D
 
As a few others have said, Abit nf7-s v2, upgraded to this from the asus a7n8x deluxe, was much better, had the epox 8rda+ before that... both upgrades were a significant improvement on the previous.
 
Along those lines i had a v1.2 that happily did 250MHz with a 2500+ mobile @ 1.75v, luckily i still kept it when i got my first AN7.. rotten board did 220Mhz-ish and no more :D
 
my Asus P5K-e Wifi, great clocker for the price, built in wireless has great reception and is a very solid and stable board
 
An Athlon XP M 2600 Barton, model No. AXMG2600FQQ4C, had a stock FSB of 266 MHz and ran at 2133 MHz. That equates to a multiplier of 8. If the FSB was 500 or greater the CPU frequency would have met or exceeded 4000 Mhz. That would be quite impressive.

Stock for a 2600+ Barton is 2Ghz with a 15x multiplier (15x133) 133 is 266MHz DDR


500+fsb on an xp? i call bs...

He means 250Mhz 'Real' so 500 DDR FSB. If not i know its BS :D

Heh dunno why some peeps like to quote DDR values when its much more straight foward to say the real MHz value (as most people do :D)
 
definitly the almighty NF7-S v2.0

that coupled with a barton 2500 XP-M clocked to 3200+ is an absolute monster. Definitly the best system i've had.

Although the Gigabyte GA 7N400-Pro (not Pro2) is an absolutely awesome mobo for the same purpose as the NF7-S

For value. I would have to say my ASUS A8V Deluxe is superb. Picked it up off ebay for 20 quid about 18 months ago. great bargin!

actually, my first was the Gigabyte 7N400 Pro board. But after so many positive results from people who owned an NF7, I went and bought one :D

I still have it now, sitting in a box under my desk with a 2700+ Athlon XP sitting in it :D
