Of those three the A7V133 is probably the best...but the Iwill KK266 is pretty much the top SDRAM Athlon motherboard out there..I would seriously consider it if possible.

what you guys think about the SIS chipset boards that are coming out? worth the wait or what? Also would you suggest DDR or SDRAM system?

Out of those three, I'd go with A7V133, but personally go with DDR, and for a DDR mobo, MSI's K7 Master.
