kt7a vs kk266 in overclocking???

[Hammbone]

i currently have the abit kt7a motherboard. yesterday i saw something about the iwillkk266 overclocking better is this true??? i just ordered a 1.4 Tbird and an 431W powersupply (heard that this dramatically ups the overclocking ability on that chip) now my question is should i switch motherboards to get more out of the chip??? i have no experience with Iwill, i have used Abit ever since i start building my own systems. does Iwill have as many of the great bios features, the softmenu, like fsb, multiplier, voltage, ect.... thanks for your help sorry for all the questions!!!

Read the review on anandtech.com (do search). Yes it is supposed to be a better overclocker, but is is also very simular to the ABIT board, almost as if Iwill used the abit as a refernce to build the kk266. I have the KK266 and it kicks ass for overclocking

Yes, the Iwill KK266 had better results than the Abit KT7A. Just a few Abits got close to Iwill results.
So if you are going to oc the Iwill is better.

thanks guys, i read the article and i guess i am going with the Iwill as a replacement and giving the Abit to a friend. anyone else back this up as a good move???

that is a good move, especially if you are using a 266fsb chip. Iwill had some problems using the 200fsb chips at 266, but it is good for 266fsb chips. Also I believe it is cheaper.
