suggest a MB for AMD1700+ & PC2100 & RAID

[stingray2]

I am looking to upgrade my mother board. I currently have and ECS MB, and I am not pleased with it. I want to get a better MB, but I need it to have at least PC2100, at least 3 dimm slots, RAID. I don't care about onboard sound, or LAN.
other hardware that I have: PCI Gefore3Ti200, 7 harddrives (that is why I want the RAID, so I can use them for normal IDE drives, not in a RAID config), Phillips Acoustic edge sound card, 2 PC2100 255mb crucial. before you start jumping on me for the number of harddrives, I do some Video editing, so I need the storage space. I am in the process of replacing my 30-40gb harddrives with 80 & 120gb drives.

The Shuttle AK35GTR.
Newegg has them for about $110.00.
Onboard raid controller and surround sound, hard to beat for that price and this
board has got very good reviews.

I personally own an Abit KR7A133-Raid and i LOVE this board. It has GREAT tweaking features and the Highpoint HPT374 Raid build in which also supports ATA133. I am running an Xp1900+ on there with 2 sticks of Crucial unregistered 256MB DDR on there. SB audigy, netgear lan card and 2 IBM 45GB hard drives in Raid 0. This rig is rock solid, the only down side is that it does not have USB 2.0 build in, no sound sand no onboard LAN. However i think you gonna love this board if you dont' care about any onboard features.

I have a FIC AN11 Stealth that I would be willing to sell for $80 shipped

I have been using it for about a week now and everything is stable. I have all the cables and manual.

PM me if you're interested.

The Abit NV133-R (nforce with raid/usb-2) looks good too..

I was looking at Tomshardware.com, and they could not recommend any nforce boards, the KT266A boards beat them.
the ABIT KR7A133-raid was reviewed, and scored very well.. I think 3rd.... but.. it has what I need, RAID.
thanks for everyones help.. and since newegg.com that a refub of the ABIT KR7A133-raid for $99 with free fedex.. well, its a slam dunk..
