Shuttle AK11 vs. MSI K7T Turbo2 vs. Iwill KK266

[Hapless]

I'm building a somewhat low budget LAN box, and I'm looking at a KT133a board with a ~1Ghz Duron. Since these 3 boards pretty much span the price range ($66, $80, and $100 respectively) and have all pretty much been given good reviews, which one would I have the best general stability and overclocking potential in? Thanks in advance

I vote for the IWill, its overclocks very well and is very stable. mwave has it for $94

I picked up the Shuttle. Coming off a Turbo. I'm getting it today.

^bump, I guess what I'm really asking is if the MSI is worth the extra $20 or the Iwill is worth the extra $40.

I have the Shuttle, and with FSB alone I'm able to get an additional 100Mhz out of the chip. Could probably do two if I decided to unlock it. It's a good board with many features and an intelligent layout. The board has been very stable for the time that I've had it. I think it has as much to do with running W2K as the board though...W2K is the best OS Microsoft has come up with IMO.

Hmm, looks like the Shuttle is the most cost-effective way to go.
