I am in the market for a new KT133A MB for an all SCSI build. I will probably go with a 1.33 TBird (266) for the CPU.

From reading the threads the KK266 has gotten some really good comments and the reviews have been all favorable.

I first thought about going with the MSI K7T Turbo for a good stable MB, but read a few people were having trouble with really slow bootups. I've also read comments about the Turbo being the slowest board and the voltages don't read correctly and the multipliers don't work properly. Is this something that will be corrected with a new bios update and how long before a new bios is available or should the Turbo be avoided?

I have read lots of good comments about the Iwill KK266, but I was wondering what type problems this MB might have that I may have missed?

Anyone here who would recommend something over the KK266 or is the KK266 the best choice for a KT133A MB?

The 3 choices I was thinking about for the new build are the MSI K7T Turbo, Iwill KK266, and the Abit KT7A.

TIA

I test the CPUs I sell on them, and haven't found a board I like better. I can tell you I have excluded the Asus, Abit and MSI by trial. Another contender is the Epox 8KTA3.
