which motherboard :(

okay i was leaning on a kt7a-raid for quite a long time, but im starting to think otherwise... i like my bx6-2 a lot it hasnt given me any problems, but i just wanna know what are my other choices

i want something with RAID and that can handle 8 ide devices... so like on the kt7a-raid theres the 2 ide raid and then the 2 ata/100 ide... thanks

The only board I recommend is the A7V133.. atleast until IWill comes out with a new revision fixing their current problems. Abit just has too many quality issues, and they seem to ignore it.

how bout the msi turbo-r?

I have the MSI K7T Turbo-R. I love the board...very stable. Haven't tried RAID yet but from what I hear, much easier to configure then the ABIT.

I think it's a great board for the price.

Asus A7V133. Great board.

To put it simply... it performs like crap.

A7V133-RAID (recently converted from the ABIT KT7A...).

Both are great, the KT7A seems to be going thru some growing pains...tho

does the vantec hsf fit the asus board?

 

[SiliconVandal]

Iwill KK266..or if you must, an ASUS A7V133 or MSI K7T Turbo-R. I would get the Iwill if I was you.

<< does the vantec hsf fit the asus board? >>

Yes, it does. This cooler really sucks (opinion). If you want something quiet, go for a TaiSol CGK742...its more powerful, same price..and quieter.
