DFI vs. Abit mobo
I'm thinking of getting Abit's NF7-S mobo but NCIX has DFI's Infinity Nforce2 on special right now. Two things I like about Abit's mobo is that "supposedly" its capable of fan speed control and includes serial-to-IDE adapter which I could use.
Is DFI's mobo missing both of these?

Not sure where you read the fan control part, but the only thing it would be missing is the adapter. There isn't much difference between the two, but now that I have the NF7-S, I wish I had the other.
The ATX power socket is in a better location and the NB is already fanless. You also get 4 SATA connectors with the DFI. And if you really dont want to get a new HD, I'm starting to prefer PATA cables over these SATA ones. The adapter just meant I needed more wires near my HD.
Just a few thoughts....
I think the DFI is cheaper too.

Is there a reason this is in the VGA forum?
Well, this is what the forum description says:
"Finally, a forum of its own (sort of): VGAs, motherboards, etc."
Somewhat confusing, I know....
