MSI or Soltek? Need advice urgently

[holyghost]

I am torn between MSI KT3 Ultra & Soltek SL-75DRV5 mobo. Abit KX7-333 cross my mind but it costs abit too much. Furthermore I don't need the Raid. Someone please do give me some advice on which of these 2 boards I should get. I use my comp more on games so what I need is performance & stability.

If past boards are any indicator, the new Soltek board should be great. I have the KT266A Soltek mobo, and it is more stable than any other board i've ever had, and I managed to snag it at a good price. It would seem the only thing holding Soltek back is their lack of US distributors, although that has been getting better over the past few months.

The "Red Storm" automatic overclocking feature is also a nice touch... basically you just hit a button in BIOS and it figures out the maximum overclock you can get.

Get the MSI if you don't plan on installing a sound card but if good on-board sound isn't important get the EPOX 8K3A KT333CE for 89$ it's stability is excellent and it is an excellent overclocker as well.
