Gigabyte\EPoX\Soltek KT333 motherboards

Well, i'm going to buy a new machine soon, and i cant decide what motherboard should i take. The kt333 motherboards of the manafaucers in the topic are the options, and i just can't decide which one to choose.
The prices are the same. By the way, i'm going to buy the simplerer motherboard if the manafaucer has more than 1 kt333 based motherboard (i mean, if i want the gigabyte i will buy the 7vrx, not the 7vrxp), because i don't need all this stuff like raid controller, because i wont use it anyway.
So, what do you say? whats do you recommend?
The prices are the same, perfomance too (who cares about difference of 0.7 fps?).
The epox (8K3A) is great for overclocking, it has the "88" port card or whatever it is being called. It lacks USB 2.0 (does it realy matter?), and 1\5 dividers, wich is not that bad.
The gigabyte (7VRX) has a great designing (for an example, the AGP card doesn't block the DIMM holders, the EIDE\FLOPPY placed good), USB 2.0 (again, does it realy matter?), rounded corner (good for something?) and a "live" bios update, and many other nice features.
The soltek (75DRV5) has many overheat protections for AMD processors, good design, lacks USB 2.0 and that's it, i think.
I just can't decide, what do you say?
 
Just built a system with the Epox 8K3A and an AMD 2000+. So far the board is great. I would highly reccomend it.
Can't comment on the other choices but they sound very good also.
 
maybe this will help...link also havin raid is nice because u use them as extra IDE...make stuff faster when u have each device on its on channel
 
I had a soltek,(slowtek) didnt run as fast as the gigabyte 7vrxp, plus the slotek ended up breaking, stopped posting?
