Kyle, the one who said "the hell with VIA", now says this,
"With that said, what about the Asus A7V266? I can tell you that I think it is simply one of the best mainboards I have ever used. The Asus A7V266 was problem free in every department, and it can certainly be grouped as a "High Performance" mainboard of great quality. I really think there is little you could do to improve upon the A7V266, and it will become a standard here on our testbench."
