Abit NF7-S Motherboard

Pros: Feature-rich (IEEE1394, USB2.0, Dolby 5.1, SATA, dual DDR). Highly configurable. Fast.
Cons: Stability varies widely. Very sensitive to power supply. Pricey

Boards based upon the Nvidia NForce 2 chipset are currently (spring 2003) considered to be best overall solution for operation of Athlon XP processors, especially those based upon the latest "Barton" core with front-side bus (FSB) speeds of 400 MHz...

Cons: Northbridge fan, Cheap SATA Cable, Could do with more rear USB 2.0 ports

I bought this mobo for the first computer system i've ever built from scratch, and i have to say it is incredible. There is so much fun to be had, you can change a million and one settings from the BIOS, its great! ***Ok first things first CPU instal ...

Pros: Got it for 150$ (Can currency) which is great!
Cons: The board dosent come in blue.

Where to begin. First off, a little bit about myself. Unlike most, I am just 17 years old. Sure I'm into computers but I dont miss out on the joys of being a teen. I've been computer crazy ever since I totaled the family computer 5 years ago. I ...

Pros: Great features, especially if overclocking.
Cons: Unstable has "issues" with hardware.

I bought this board to build a whole upgraded system for myself. My old board was a cheapo ECS which never had any problems, but wasn't that thrillng either. I chose the Abit because of its overclocking reputation as well as features like SATA and RAID ...

Pros: dual channel DDR and 400MHz FSB support
Cons: must upgrade bios to get full Dual Channel Support

Pros: Feature Rich, quite cheap, Very fast and very stable
Cons: Poor sound quality on sound card. Need for extra ata150 module plus lead.

I purchased this motherboard for £120($160) after having god knows how many stability problems and slowness with my msi board.

This motherboard is packed with features yet quite cheap.

It is super fast and VERY stable a MUST buy for all speed freaks. I have made use of the seriell ata 150 on my maxtor hard disk and it treats it as a scsi hard disk even though it isnt. I have also got ddr400 memory which is very quick......so i think you are getting the picture im a happy customer of abit.


On the whole i am VERY pleased with the abit nf7s and recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Easy to install, added extra fans, runs extremely fast, seems to be very stable.
Cons: The software when installed kept the computer from shutting down automatically.

Installed Win XP and 'puter would not shut off automatically. Otherwise, board works fine. Ran this under Windows Xp and Windows 2000 and got same result.

Pros: feature rich Quality Parts on board
Cons: Issues sound not quality software

This Board is feature rich, but has issues at least mine did needed BIOS update, with out update would not install windows, Linux found a way to work around it, then updated the BIOS and have no problems since
