looking for motherboard reliability opinions

has anyone had any experience with any of these mobos:

Iwill DVD266
Soltek SL-65DRV
MSI Pro266 Master-R
ASUS CUV266-D
?

They are all dual P3 mobos based on the Apollo Pro266 chipset. I have been told to stay away from the Apollo Pro133 chipset due to stability issues.

Is the Pro266 chipset any better? I am looking for a reliable, above all else, dual P3 mobo. I love ASUS mobos, but I have also heard good things about some Soltek mobos. And I have also heard good things about MSI's more server/workstation oriented mobos - such as SMP mobos.

cheers...

iwill dvd266 was the most unreliable mobo i've ever owned...that being said I've read many posts where users are very happy with that board. MSI, on the other hand, has a reputation for stability and I recently purchased the Pro266TD Master-LR. I haven't built the system yet but if my experiences with the MSI K7 Master-S are any indication than i should have a great rig.
