Best AMD kt133a overclockers board?

I am getting ready to build my first AMD system.

Which board is the best for overclocking so far. I think I am going to go with the epox since I have heard bad stuff about the abit one and hardocp didnt recommend asus or soyo for overclocking.

RAID would also be nice...also cant be DDR
 
I like the Asus A7V133 motherboard. The Asus name alone tells an experienced person that it has ultra-high quality and a long life of BIOS updates until the motherboard works flawlessly or until Asus is tired of programming BIOSes for them. 😉 It has excellent overclocking features, which you can find an article on Anandtech's site. All around, it's an awesome board. I have one and it's working like a charm! Two thumbs up for Asus!
 
I also like the A7V133, its the best performer according to Tom and Anand, its fully jumperless (Tho the jumpers are there if you want to use them), and its extremelly stable (Didn't crash during Anands test).
 
The IWill is said to reach around the 160Mhz FSB speeds. The question is, can your PCI peripherals handle it?
 
Either the Asus or Abit should make you happy. I personally have the KT7-A RAID, and I love it. Can't really go wrong with either of them.
 
I had some problems with my abit kt7a raid, excellent in oc, but con in stability. I haven't tried asus before, but I would recommend it.
 
the Epox rocks the house!
...ok well maybe not it'll do the trick just as well...only pain is that you have to switch the jumpers to get the 133 FSB
