Iwill XP333-R

I was wondering what people thought of the Iwill XP333-R,and the non RAID XP333 board as well.

Anandtech was nice enough to feature it in their KT266A roundup.
Their conclusion was that it was comparable to their gold award board the Abit KR7-RAID.
Is this true?
I ask because I'm wanting to buy this board now. The RAID version is only $120 now and I like Iwill.
I wanted to get the publics opinion first before buying though, to see if it's really as good as it's supposed to be.

Additional info:
The computer it will go into will be used mostly for gaming and for multi-tasking.
It will have an Athlon XP 1700+ processor in it as well with Crucial PC2100 DDR RAM.
 
It's definately a good, solid board. I'd still be using one if mine didn't crap out on me, but I feel I'm definately in the minority on that situation. If you have the cash, I'd go for it. 🙂
 
i'm planning on buying the xp333-r and pairing it with a 1.4ghz athlon. all the reviews i've read (not just at anandtech either) say its just as good as the asus solution, just a little different.
 

This is the board I am going for next too. I have an Asus A7V133 (KT133A) SDRAM board with
a 1.33ghz (@1.4ghz) T-Bird right now. I want to go DDR, however, PC2100 doesn't give me the boost
in performance I want, so I want to run 166 mhz FSB with PC2700. (Very nice) Since my Thunderbird
is factory unlocked, I will be REAL easy to run at 166 FSB. I was all ready to get the XP333-R board, however,
memory prices have shot up so much that I am probably going to hold off for a few months.....

I have read a lot of reviews on this board. At 166FSB it beats every other board out there. (I know
you can overclock some KT266A boards up to 166FSB, but I want the extra security of the pci dividers
to know that it is only the FSB that is overlocked.)
 
i have this board......i love it...........stable and fast. good deal at $120.......i bought mine for $130 and consider it well worth it. good for o/c, raid and onboard sound is great too.
