If you're going to overclock, go with the Abit. It's known for being a great overclocker.

I'd say get whichever. The ABIT has some nice nVidia SoundStorm integrated sound and stuff, and is very overclocking friendly, but can't really beat the Asus reliability.

I've had absolutely no stability issues with my Abit. Of course, I'm not OCing, but that doesn't really matter. I'd say Abit, just cause I've never used an Asus.

With the builds I've done, I've had more success and next to no problems with Asus. With Abit boards, I've had various issues. The onboard sound sometimes not working on NF7 series boards, for instance.
However, that doesn't mean Abit boards are "bad". Most builds have gone without a hitch.
