Epox 8k7a still the best best for ddr?

[russr]

I've been out of the loop for a month or so and back in May it seemed like the Epox 8k7a was the best overall mobo for ddr and amd. Is this still the case? From what I've gathered in reading a few posts today it seems like the case, but just wanna make sure.

Is any other board better? Is that Asus A7V266 ever coming out?

I have heard too many people complain about Epox boards lately. Although, once the Abit KG7 is out we'll know (for sure) which DDR board is the best.
That is until August/September when the SIS 735 DDR boards hit the streets.

i can't really wait till september. I could wait a few week if somethign is coming out, but not a whole month or two.

If you have too many users...you are gonna get more complaints about it here in the forums. The 8k7a is a great board...stable, easy to oc, and cheap. What else can you ask for...the only mobo i see that's worth a look at other then the epox is the gigabyte. But i still like the epox better. Does the gigabyte have vcore adjuster?

what about the kt266 version from epox? the 8kha i believe? and what is this gigabyte version?

Gigabyte 7DXR (probably the best at this time, AMD761) and the Gigabyte 7VTX (excellent board, all options but vcore adjustment, never had an issue though as the board runs the cpu a little higher than normal). The newer KT266 boards (shuttle,epox,gigabyte) are now performing equally to or better than the AMD761 boards. Asus and Abit will be releasing their KT266 boards shortly along with MSIs new design. It appears that AMD will be officially moving from the Gigabyte 7DX V4 as their platform of choice to the Asus KT266 board according to the latest reports.
