Abit NF7-S2G. I still has this board pretty much unused in box.
Back in the day, I fiddled a lot with Socket A platform. Bought cheap Athlons, tested several motherboards, had fast memory, watercooling and tweaked the hell out of the systems just for fun. Athlons were so much fun, because you could buy low end T-bred Bs and Bartons extremely cheap and overclock the hell out of them. I had a nice EPoX board before that turd and during some of my tests I somehow managed to break the socket. So, I needed a replacement and went to the computer shop relatively near my home. However, they had very limited selection available on the shelf, mostly just generic boards not aimed at the enthusiasts, so there was clearly a problem. Because I didin't have a functioning computer otherwise, I decided to pick this turd because hey, it is NF7-series after all, so how bad it could be?
It was horrible. It had no CPU multiplier controls and CPU support was abysmal (of course this turd pretty much never got any BIOS updates either, not to mention modded BIOSes). You couldn't even get most fast Athlons running at their nominal speed, because it didin't detect the processor correctly and used too small multiplier. You couldn't set CAS2 for memory. Every tweak it had in BIOS, which was not many, usually caused the system becoming horribly unstable.
It was probably after half an hour with that thing when I realised that I had made a huge mistake. I decided to keep the board so I had at least somewhat functioning computer for internet stuff for a time being and ordered a proper enthusiast board. If I remember correctly, it was another turd from Abit, AN7 which was just released at that point. Or I had AN7 before the EPoX, but the point still remains, that it was horrible too. It had all the bells and whistles, but it was disastrously unstable. I just couldn't get it stable with 2 or more RAM sticks even stock and I got it replaced for NF7-S v2.0 after few days of frustration (or EPoX board, if my memory fails me of the order of things)
But NF7-S2G still lingers with me. I couldn't bear to sell it to anyone so I just left it in my bin with a box and accessories as a reminder. Just few weeks ago I browsed the contents of the box. It still had the Tbred-b 1700+ in the socket. Nice processor, overclocked like a beast with water. I think I need to remove it from the board, it doesn't deserve to be tortured with that board.
