I don't have either, but with my personal preference, I would stick with the A7M266.
It uses an AMD northbridge chipset. Not VIA. It is better performing, but also
more expensive. Although, when people have issues, it is more often with the VIA
686B southbridge (which both motherboards use). Just my two cents.

Yo,
Tom's Hardware and others have done reviews. Without question, go with the A7M266, which is based on the AMD chipset, as the Via KT266 chipset has been a disappointment in performance and stability.

You may wish to wait as the first dual processor motherboards are due to ship in late August/mid September.
