NF7-S (What to download)

Hi all

I am expecting to get my NF7-S motherboard tomorrow. Since this is my first
Abit motherboard and my first Nforce2 motherboard I would like to know if
you, who are more experienced with this board and this chipset, can
recommend me to download, so that it's ready when I change to my new
motherboard (drivers, utilities etc.).

Thx. in advance.

the first thing to get is the latest bios update from the abit website and
the latest nforce drivers from nvidia`s website. The drivers that came with
my NF7 were very out of date. I use MBM5 to monitor my temps on the board.

I'm currently running BIOS version 21 (NF7-S rev2.0). What's new in version
22? The
downloadsite doesn't say anything about that.

probably just a raid driver update and processor clock tweaks that abit
always find time to do. I keep it updated all the same.

Just seems a little strange to me that they don't mention anything at all.
All other BIOS versions have a history listed. Oh well, I'll stick with 21.

Probably best, I tried the latest bios and I had to flash back the
previous one. SATA Raid bugs have still not all been worked out no
matter how many people say "It works for them!"

It's not the first time I hear that. Version 22 seems a little flawed, not
worth the upgrade I think.
