A7V133 is KT133A... there is no such thing as A7V133A... just A7V (KT133) and A7V133 (KT133A)

And I agree A7V133.

Depends on your budget. The Epox isn't that bad really but if you want pure performance and stability, Asus is the way to go.

This maybe not one of your options, but have you considered the IWill?KK-266.:cool:

'Cuz it's much faster, stable and allows overclocking via 1 Mhz increments.

actually it isn't much faster, unless u can use the 1mhz increments to your advantage...

at the same speed, they're relatively equi-performing...

the Epox is cheaper however, and thus I'd vote Epox regardless of lack of fsb microstepping...
u're not going to miss a couple mhz in speed, when with the money u save u could probably buy 128mb pc133 stick...or something else...

stability is equal.

epox is better all around.

oh yaeh, epox actually provides adequate customer service...asus can suck my ass when it comes to customer support...(i have an asus mobo and vid card and received no customer support from them)
