    My a7n8x deluxe rev2 has been great. , but the epox/abitay allow higher voltages for the CPU.

    but anyway a xp2500 @ 209x11.5=2404 with 1.85 volts is not to bad.

      I use an Epox 8RDA+ and don't have any problems with it. Great board for the money. Plenty of bang for the buck with a 2400+ processor. No complaints here.

        Quick question, the Asus is 8X agp. Is it backward compatable? or I am looking at yet another vidcard purchase if I get one of these?

          It only takes 1.5V cards - if you have a 3.3V card then yes, yet another purchase is required!

              excellent choice.. I have tried 3 2500+'s so far and they all overclocked to 3200+ on stock cooling .. I am running one right now, uptime is normally several weeks at a time

                To overclock 2500 do you need to fiddle with the processor or is it all done in bios?

                  If it is fully unlocked, as many seem to be, then bios fiddling is all you need (assuming the bios supports both multiplier & FSB tweaks). A quick google will show you how to spot an unlocked XP.

                    I am really tempted to get that bundle Asus A7N8X Deluxe, AMD 2500+ and a couple of 256Mb DDR400 modules. However I would be using my old case. Will 250Watt power supply be enough or am i looking at more hidden costs:/

                      With all the drives listed in your sig you are going to have problems on a 250W PSU.

                            Hehe come on its a quality power supply I must have a chance There was a power supply review I think on tomshardware, and some of them blow up after 200Watts of drainage, even if they are rated 400Watts.

                                Have in mind that its the same site that said that my old DFI mobo with VIA MVP3 chipset was a "fine and stable motherboard"
                                I can asure you that "stable" was not a word I used to describe it

                                Do you also believe Nvidia when they say that they Don't cheat?
                                Or VIA when they say that the bugs arnt their fault?
