go to Abit's forums, theres like 50 people there at a time saying thier boards dead from exiting Bios, you know the solution...

they tell you to buy a 30 dollar Bios kit.

when I saw that, I would never buy that board again.
no board should require a bios survival kit...

I want stability over performance

That's not a stability issue; that's a bios saving bug. It's not abit's fault, but nvidia's.

Every nf2 powered board saves their info in the bios on the same, dangerous way. I've had 2 dead 8rda+ boards; which i was able to save because I had multiple 8rda+ bioses lying around. Check epox forums, there are dozens of ppl who have the same prob as the asus.

The reason why it happens moslty with the nf7-s, is only because it's the most widely used nf2 overclocking board.

If you want to stay clear of this bug, go with kt600...

ah well, we'll see. I've got an asus board in the P4 rig and I'm happy with it. My mate's got an A7N8X and I overclocked his rig, all the options I needed were there in the BIOS and the machine always ran fine :)

ah well, if it's not good enough I can still sell it
