(The capacitors when the machine is turned off start to smoke :( ) Recently i noticed it is now crashing a lot more than usual. And so i have been looking at buying one board for my server for definate and maybe one for my main machine as this ASRock K7vt4-4x has no real tweaking option's.... Just wondered on what everyones views where on the Asus A7N8X-X SKT A Nforce2 board?

And seeing as they are very cheap nowadays, it would be good to get one since they are still good. The Nforce2 though obviously outdated now is still good itself. You could easily use this for your main machine and the one in it now to be used as the server.

Just now i decided to add in a XP2500 Mobile Barton ( The mobiles run cooler and the VCore is 1.45 instead of 1.65 so it overclocks better....) The only one i have seen so far is the 266fsb which is no good when i got PC2700 memory inside my machine...
