need help with ddr......

[agentq232]

OKAY, there has been much controversy over ddr, and the via chipset especially, it seems via jumped the gun on that chipset.
What I was wondering what is the best ddr mobo with raid support out currently, and is it worth it to wait another 2-3 weeks in hope of better ddr mobos' (Asus and Abit).

thanks!

Just released and I should have mine around 5/5- Link , otherwise the only other choice currently is the Iwill Ka266-R for on-board raid. The Iwill board is a very good performer and has excellent stability but is based on the ALI chipset. I prefer the AMI solution as to the Highpoint on the Epox board but wnated to stick with the AMD 760 chipset.

Where did you find the Epox DDR board with RAID? I have found the normal one without RAID on Pricewatch, but I've been waiting for the one with RAID. Did you order it directly from some where? Or just have an in?

jpmaxt,

My wife who works for C*^&#q will be in Japan next week and will pick the board up at a local shop that we deal with from time to time. I understood from Bunta and AxionTech that they could special order the board but it might be mid/late May before delivery. I will also try to get their new KT266 board (ep-8kha) at the same time.

later....
