This mobo is the biggest bang for...
Strengths: Overclocks well GREAT onboard sound Ultra ATA133 to Serial ATA150 Very stable and compatible
Weakness: None that I know of... I did a lot of research and liked what I saw... Some have complained of the board layout but it isnt an issue to me.
This mobo is the biggest bang for your buck you can get. It overclocks very well and is extremely stable. It also has some great features I highly recommend this board to anyone looking to get a great system (especially AMD).

Strengths: Revision 2.0 board. Fast and stable. Has firewire and SATA and 6 USB 2.0 ports.
Weakness: No Game port
In my opinion this is still the best Athlon XP board out there. Its an awesome overclocker. Overclock 2500+ at 2.4G on air cooling, very stable. I have never used a board that overclocked as easily as this board does. very nice control over the FSB stepping. Great on board sound. Setup the SATA driver is very easy, just press F6 to set if up.
All I can say is, WOW!

This board has functioned...
Strengths: This is the revision 2.0 board. Works fast and reliably. DDR memory activates properly with Corsair matched modules.
Weakness: Some connections are placed poorly causing routing/access problems. There is a capacitor placed near the end of the agp slot which makes it difficult to install some large video cards.
This board has functioned flawlessly since I set it up properly. I have tried to do some modest overclocking without success. That may be due to my processor's production period or because I haven't increased memory voltage. Others know more about that subject than I do. The booklet that comes with the board is decent, although it is not accurate in reflecting the newest bios version settings....

NF7-S Motherboard (Athlon/Duron, Socket A, nForce2, ATX, 3GB DDR, 333MHz FSB).
Strengths: SoftMenu for CPU clock setting,and Flash Menu for BIOS update
Weakness: None
My CPU is a Barton 3000+, operating at 2163 MHz clock and the FSB set at 400 MHz. It's fast. I'm a novice overclocker. This board takes mistery out of overclocking. With a proper cooling, this board can run much faster.
The model numbers in this series are very confusing. Particularly between NF7-S (rev 2) and NF7-S2. The latter is much inferior to -S. Make sure of which one you're ordering.

Strengths: Overclockable, Sata raid, SoundStorm onboard 5.1 audio
Weakness: atx pwoer connector placement, northbridge fan make noise
Extremely fast and stable and th bios has every option an overclocker would want! There is enough room around the cpu socket for even the biggest cooler too! There are 3 simms for ddr3200 memory (if 2 sockets are used dual channel ram (must be same ram) can be achieved which increases bandwidth and preformance greatly) With 2 SATA ports on the mobo and the ability to use raid 1 or 0. this bord is...
