Neither of those. Hold out for one of these. You won't be happy with anything else. Trust me.
AN7
NF7
DFI Ultra B
DFI Infinity Ultra

AN7 NF7 DFI Ultra B DFI Infinity Ultra I second this. i have dealt with a bunch of socket 462 systems in my life, and what you want are the Nforce boards. you can skip the via based boards pretty much straight away. And te Abits and DFIs are definitely the best. On via boards tho you could do a funky trick involving closing bridges on the cpu to make the board think it's a "mobile", so you could adjust the multiplier on locked cpu's. But it wasn't a lot of use because those boards simply lack OC capabilities compared to the nforce ones |

But it wasn't a lot of use because those boards simply lack OC capabilities compared to the nforce ones Yep - Don't forget that between the different versions/models of an NF7 you have the NF7 or NF7-S, the S standing for SATA and the non S verisons being IDE only. There's also the NF7's with the black RAM slots (Ver 1.1) - Some of those can be good too but the 2.0's are the ones to get if you can, no prob if looking for an AN7 since there is only one version of those period that I know of. Beware if you happen to spot what looks like an Ultra B board, the Ultra A's look almost exactly like the "B"s do but are not the same in capability at all, I have one of them to know this. |

My bad - The good all black RAM slots versions are indeed version 1.2, not 1.1.
Went and looked at mine to confirm and it's a 1.2 version. It's had the VDD mod applied and yes it will go to at least 245 on the bus - It's been awhile since I've ran it but I do recall it doing fairly well.
The man has spoken - Leave it be.

There were ver. 2.0 boards with all black slots. THOSE are the one's to find.  |

Not an S Scotty do they go as good as the sata ones. Not being a Sata wouldnt really matter to me as I use IDE to data adaptors anyway. |

They are exactly the same, except no sata controller.

For me I havent had much to do with the DFI ABit for me. This is a tricky platform to get into hard to get the best out of but you wont know if you dont try. |

well pete you know me, ive got 1 abit board in 478 the IC7 - MAX3 but several other platforms in dfi, and i am a fan of dfi , all their range is tough that ive had anyway and when im stuffin around with em they gotta be tough as you know  , i know i go hard on boards, and i know why they fail, took me half a dozen dead boards to realise it, coz i dont understand the voltage terms they use on different boards properly, but out of all the boards i have had the dfi range has been the toughest so far imo, thats why im leaning towards dfi if i can find the right 1 for 462 |

after a bit of a yak with pete about 462 socket, i doubt im ready or experienced enough for it yet, but thx all for your inputs with what to buy, and ill keep a look out, think ill concentrate on trying not to kill anything else i have for the time being and learn more how to deal with that first, then have a go 462 , no point buying another good board and kill it when i have no clue about it , im sure ill pick 1 up from the tip sooner or later that i can play with instead to try learn about it more |

I will tell you the flaws with the DFI 462 boards. Not enough Vcore available. Only goes to 2.0v. Can't mod it much either, it blows them up. CBB at anything under 10c also. The DFI's are good high FSB Pi and ram bench boards, but not good for much else.
For you Shane, I would suggest an AN7. No modding necessary and it's a solid almost trouble free board. I would have suggested the NF7 but they need a bunch of mods to go good.

Ah a VIA chipset suppos it will give you the feel of Socket A what processor? according to whats on the chip its this, a palamino 1700.... had a closer look at the board and its got 6 of the bigger caps that are swollen and look like theyve been leaking from the top , so not holding up much hope for it www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%201700%2B%20-%20AX1700DMT3C.html |

6.3v 3300Uf caps I would say you could have your first go at cap replacement. I have got plenty of those in stock.  |
