favorite motherboard you've owned?

Abit NF7-S 2.0.

I liked it that much, that I bought two :D

The Lanparty NFII Ultra B that replaced the first board didn't stand a chance.

In a way, yes. I had a KX7-333 before the NF7. That was a nice board. I liked the NF7 for its reliability and performance over its overclocking ability though.

No machine I've had since has been close.

Had a KX7 333 with the newer KT333 (so called 'A') revision, same with my Asus A7V333, both did 170MHz which was good in them days :D
 
Just for longevity and the enthusiast factor I'm going to say the ASUS A7M266.
It was my first DDR board running a Tbred. (1400)
ASUS only officially supported chips to 2200 on it, and then a few of us over here found it was possible to get more or less any socket A chip to work on it using wire tricks.

Just don't seem to see people doing stuff like that these days, tho the idea of sticking small wires in the CPU socket isn't for everyone.

It was the only board AMD ever made a chipset for.
 
that is one hell of an overclock BILK01, for a Athlon XP its superb, even to get it to POST at that speed is a feat in itself IMO.

I remember the NF7-S 2.0, I had one but unfortunately it broke just stopped POSTing one day but it ran my 2100+ Tbred B AUIHB0303 stable at 2353MHz for 3 years and also a 2500-M at 2400 I had on it at one point. I remember the sound on it was superb for onboard - I am reading that the NF7-S had a ALC650 chip which is the same as this nforce3 mobo im currently on is using but this one has bad sound so much so that I had to buy a soundcard for it.

I remember I had an IC7 Max3 and I was very impressed with that board....overclocked a 2.8c to 3.5 on air and was stable, had good features too.
