I am looking to build a machine that will need IDE RAID, and I want nForce to be the next motherboard I get. So far, it seems like the ABIT NV7-133R is the only nForce board that has onboard IDE RAID. Unfortunately, the NV7 doesn't seem to overclock well, which I am disappointed to see since ABIT has always had a good reputation of coming out with good overclocking boards. I would go with the ASUS A7N266-C, but it has no onboard RAID. Is there a board out there that has what I am looking for? Or will one be available in the near future?

Thanks for your help!

Yep, NV7-133R is the only RAID nForce board avialable. I honestly haven't heard anything about more that do have it:(.

Around the end of June for the Nforce 615 and 620 boards. I would buy the Asus A7N266C and get an inexpensive raid card. This board absolutely rocks in speed and stablity. The onboard sound is so good
I sold my Turtle Beach SC card. I will never buy VIA again, thank god.

BTW, the Asus board is excellent for overclocking, multiplier adjustment is available in BIOS and the fsb goes up to 181. I have mine running stable at 168. The PCI bus stays locked at 33 which is nice.
The Abit board does not allow for multiplier adjustment from what I have read.
