Whats the best motherboard for someone who wants to have an 1 Gig AMD Atholon.

I want the motherboard to have an AGP slot, at least 5 PCI Slots, and have support for PC 100 Ram (it would be also good if the motherboard supported DDR also, because I'm thinking of replacing my current ram with DDR ram when the prices drop).

If DDR isn't too important I'd seriosly consider an Epox 8KTA3+. So far I've heard only good about it, and the price is right too. If you don't need RAID you can get one without the "+" sign.

in my opinion the best current board is the iwill kk266 or the asus a7v133
neither one have ddr ram though

if you want ddr the best is probably the asus a7m266 or you can wait a few weeks for the new via ddr (kt266 chipset) boards
the one im looking at maybe getting will probably be available in the next few weeks
asus a7v266 it can hold both pc133 and ddr ram

guyz, ddr ram is 89.99 for a stick of 256 MB of PC2100 DDR ram, i think DDR is the way to go

i have heard the iwill KA266 is good if you want DDR although im not too familar with the Ali Magik 1 chipset.

anyone have any experience with or opinion about this board? it supports up to 3GB RAM if anyone would ever want that much.
