That's weird, since every epox owners seem to love their board....until they try soltek :p (joking)
But seriously, I thought you'd have a better experience with it.
Personally, if I had to buy a board right now, I'd either get the NV400 or the NF7-S. I'm ruling out the FRN2-L since I'd wanna' try something different.
Just for your info, Asus also makes a nforce2 400 board, the A7N8X-X.
