This makes accessing the clip a lot easier and I was able to easily pop cards in and out of the motherboard without using a pair of tweezers to flip the clip. The push button clip is located on the outer edge of the PCI-E slot and does not sit underneath the video card like in most motherboards. The PCI-E slot utilizes my favorite current design in a retention clip.
#Abit nfm2 nview upgrade
There's one PCI-E X16 slot for you to upgrade to another video card as well as one PCI-E X1 and two PCI slots. Color wise, it features a nice mix of blue and black. So many other boards I've encountered had this connection more in the middle but the NF-M2 nView's CPU power connector sits in an easy to reach area. The CPU power connect is nicely placed on near the top outer edge for easy access. Area around the CPU isn't bad so you should be able to put on some nice silent coolers. They are also color coded so you can easily tell which slots to put your memory in for dual channel access. That should give you plenty of memory expansion room. Something that I really like is that the board has four DIMM slots for memory. I guess its hard to beat this price.The layout of the board is pretty good and contains a lot of features. and I can get cheap ddr400 ram and cheap gpu. the xeon cpus and mobo will run me approx$ 115. being that newer technology usually has better performance and you can build pretty good cheap systems these days. The only thing im wondering is can I build a new system that will out perform this xeon cruncher for the same amount of money. I might also build a low power xeon cruncher with a Asus PC-DL 1.6ghz overclocked to hopefully at least 3 ghz. Currently I now run my opty 170 which has been the best system for me so far, I sold some items and now will be adding an e6600 on a P5W DH Dlx, adding X2 3800+ AM2 with the abit for folding and backup cause Im pretty sure I will be able to set this system up easily, overclock it, and having it run stable with no issues. Thats why I went from AMD to Intel but have been having nothing but problems so far. I am usually partial to DFI and ASUS, but I will usually go with whats best for my needs and has the best bang for the buck. DFI seems like they are out on vcation though havent seen them come out with a whole lot in the last year as everyone else has come out with all kinds of boards kind of upset me. I am still a newbie when it comes to overclocking but I never had any problems with my DR-Expert or my ultra-d, just as easy to use as anything else if you ask me. I have used a DFI infinity for my sisters system think it was a socket 754 AMD its ok but nothing like the Lanparty.
I ended up ordering th Abit NF-M2 last night. Im all about the best bang for the buck which I think is the main purpose of this thread. offer great performance, great overclockers and plenty enough for most systems. I think these 2 boards Inarrowed down to is the best way to go if a persons trying to save money. Thanks for everyones help and sorry to intrude on this thread.
I think I may just go with the Abit, the onboard video will be plenty for my wife, son, or folding and I can always add a video card later if need be. One system will go to my wife, one will be for my son, 2 or 3 for myself and will turn around and sell the rest.Īnyways more than you probably need to know. I currently have 4 systems Im building once I get everything set I will decide on what I want to keep, sell and decide on what to use where.
Im leaning towards the Abit because of the integrated video and this system is mainly for folding and a backup system. Sorry to submit multiple posts, have no idea what im doing and I cant delete and re-edit for some reasonĪs for me I have narrowed my list down to either the Abit NF-M2 or the DFI NF ultra II-M2.
