Best AMD DDR Mobo?

[Serpico74]

The title says it all. Best Athlon DDR mobo you guys have had experience with? So far its looking like I'm either going to go with the MSI KT266 or 760 platforms. I hear the IWill is good. I'm not so keen on Asus at the moment.

Thought?

ive been hearing two of the best boards are the epox 8k7a and the abit kg7 which i dont believe is out yet

I personally would suggest the Epox 8K7A/8K7A+(RAID). These boards are AMD 760 based, and are very fast and stable. They also have a ton of overclocking features, should you choose to use them. The non-RAID version can be had for ~$130. The KT266 chipset is just not performing up to par just yet, but this may improve. The AMD 760 boards are the king right now..Sis may change that though...but that's down the line.

Added note: I would most definately like RAID support on the board so I can have more than four IDE devices connected.

I have built systems with the K7 MASTER (AMD761), K7T266 and the A7A266. The K7 MASTER is the best of those three. Overclocks well and is stable. The other two had setup issues, but ran well once issues were resolved.

If you want RAID They do have the K7T266 PRO-RAID available now.

How about the K7 MASTER-S with onboard SCSI. Pricey!

Have also heard good things about the Gigabyte board (7dxr)

I like the Epox 8K7A for price/features. Also look at the Gigabyte GA7-DXR if you want onboard Creative audio and Raid support.
