Question for the all knowing!

Looking for a DDR solution for my AMD 1200. I have an Iwill KK266-R with 512MB sdram/133. I am not to sure about the current motherboard scene. Just looking to you fellas before jumping into the reveiws. I use Raid and onboard sound is optional,as long as its as good as the CMI 4.1 solution Iwill boards use. I am an avid gamer and use the pc for my home server so onboard nic is NOT needed,have many nics that work well. I plan on upgrading to AMD XP in a few months as well. I would appreciate any advise from you guys...Thanx....

the best choice is probably a board based on the via kt266a chipset (very fast/stable)

the soyo dragon+ would meet your needs, it has raid, 5.1 surround sound, it also has onboard LAN, but if you can always disable it


here is a link to a good review of several boards based on the kt266a chipset

Ive said it before and ill say it again I love my Epox 8kha+ it rocks. The only thing it does not have is onboard RAID. I do not use the onboard sound just because I have a SB Live.

One more vote for the dragon +.

Soyo K7V Dragon+, or MSi K7N420 Pro (K7N420 Pro has Audigy like Audio).
