i concur. the 8kha+ is without a doubt the best kt266a mobo out there. u won't regret it.

trust me, take Iwill XP333, built it for my friend and the overclockability is awesome.... forget KT266A, you can get Iwill XP333 much cheaper than ABIT or ASUS KT266A motherboard. Epox 8KHA+ is also a good one, but comparing the price, why you have to spend more or at least similar for something that performs less better than ALI MagiK 333 which is fairly comparable to VIA KT333?..

Good Luck

i agree with bowie71 on this one, i like my iwill XP333 , and previous to this board had an 8kha.... both are really nice, but if you want to OC then def. go with the Iwill.

Unless you want to put a GF4 on it ;)

I have a Soltek SL-75DRV4 and it's a sweet overclocker board, plus it's purple :)
