Best SDRAM Socket-A Board?

Anyone have some recommendations for the best Socket-A motherboard right now that supports PC133 SDRAM and Athlon XP's? (aside from boards based on the SIS735 chipset).

My only real requirement is that it have a good combination of performance and stability. Overclocking features would also be a plus.
 
Check out the ASUS A7A266-E. Performs very well, and also gives you the option of upgrading to DDR SDRAM at a later date.
 
The only problem with Andy's suggestion is that I have not seen a single store carrying the -E version oif the A7A266, and believe me, you don't want the original A7A266. I would have to say if you can't find a A7A266-E, go for IWill KK266+. Amazing overclocker, the best SDRAM board ever made imho
 
OK, SiS 735 aside, otherwise I'd said ECS K7S5A. Prefer ALI? Get K7AMA then. Or VIA KT266A? Then K7VTA2 v2.x is for you. All three of them have the latest revisions of the respective chipsets, run either SDRAM or DDR, and are stable and performing well, with all kinds of CPUs. Zero overclocking toys though, and little tolerance to inadequate power supply units.
