Well don't forget that AMD's nect CPU will be out in late Q1 or early Q2, so if this board does not support it, PLEASE don't come back whining about how abit sucks, or its not fair, etc... I paid about $150 for my KT7-Raid, I now have it and my Unlocked Duron for sale at $129, yea its a lot less than I paid but thats what I get for getting the board shortly after it came out. But it runs everything I wanted it to, so no whining for me.
Also if you want to have the newwest fastest thing out, then get this, but be ready for bugs, and pray for the the all mighty BIOS update to fix problem XXX.
Also don't forget Shuttle just came out with their KT266a Raid board that also has 4 DDR slots, so if price is a bigh issue then get that. Shuttle has proven itself to be a company that can make a KT266 board, and now it has a Raid board with the KT266a.
I am waiting for VIA to add ATA133 and USB2.0 to the south bridge before I upgrade(maybe even DDR333 to the north), that and see if this board will support the next AMD chip. Which looks to be coming out on time, as they already have running samples.
