i am in the same situation and I am going to wait out for the asus new mobo thats coming out. If I cant wait for it or if there are some problems I am going with the Iwill. I have heard only good things about it and it is supposed to be very fast and stable. Tell us what you decide to do.

I just got the a7m 266 a few weeks ago and havent had a problem with it, except for that mystery onboard sound diabling jumper. The Asus a7m266 is a dead end road just like the 750 irongate from amd was, they are and were both used just to seed the market. If your thinking of getting one soon wait for the Via kt266 chipset based motherboards to hit the market which should be "soon" figure by april. Everyone is waiting on it as for the Iwill its based on the Ali chipset which doesnt seem to be catching on. Via rules the chipset market go with the leader.

I saw a review for the FIC AD11 that said it edged out the IWILL in performance (don't remember where) and was the most stable of the bunch out thus far. I ordered one and it should arrive today. I got tired of waiting for the MSi Master.

I'm going to build another computer with my tax return for my wife. Hopefully by then the MSi will be out. The general consensus on this forum seems to be for MSi mobo over all others.

If you'd like, I'll let you know about the FIC when it's put together and all.


P.S. I'm not an overclocker so I know nothing about issues related to oc if that's what you are looking for.
