MSi K7TPro2A vs Abit KT7 or SA6R RAID

[hydrobum]

Looking into these two MB and can't decide. I'm planning to get a 1gig TBird and eventually going to OC it later. I have not owned a AMD system before so this is my first so not too sure how these boards perform. Anyone of you played with these 2 boards b4, put your thoughts here.

Thanks

GO with the MSI easy to setup and stable as hell.The abit is a good board to if you get a good one it took 2 for me.Ive built several msi boards recently without any problems.

I have the MSI and its solid. Getting pretty good memory scores as well.

Duron 800@963 (1.7v and 107Mhz fsb)

My cooler sucks so I am pretty sure my Duron would preform solidly at 1gig with a better cooler.

Excellent company to deal with. Got my K7TProA in less than 4 days.

GET MSI K7TProA!!! I'm so stoked about this mobo, first try, 650 duron straight to 900 on 1.65v. Win98 has yet to crash on me after a week of use.

Lovin it.

1giz TBird, MSi K7TPro2A, IBM hd, mushin memory...still thinking of which 21" monitor and HSF to get. What do you guys think of the Hedgehog or Alpha or Taisol???

I got mine at pcprogress for $130 but it did have the silver caps instead of the green(not that they do anything). Go with MSI if this is your first system build...more stable.
