I've bought like 3 Epox 8KHA+'s for system's I've built. They run great...but that was before I found out about all the problems they've been having with the new GeForce4's. Hopefully they'll fix this problem soon because otherwise it's a great motherboard.
 
Just built 6 with the Soyo Dragon+. With the latest BIOS and sound drivers off the net, solid, fast, and stable. Great sound and convenient with the NIC built-in. Seems to like both 98SE and XP.
 
Abit KR7A - RAID
Great board....just had issues with the High Point RAID controller corrupting Windows XP's Hive. Solutions are elsewhere on the forums. Other than that, its been great. 🙂
 
The Epox was my first choice but was out of stock. Ended up with the MSI below and it is rock solid. No regrets at all.

Abit KR7A-133 and like it so far, no issues whatsoever. Seems a little less stable than the Abit KT7A, which usually crashed once 7-10 days with WinMe. I didn't format when i did the swap, so there could be another issue. Do you think i should remove everything from the system devices and reload all the drivers for them?

Also i haven't had a chance to really test the boards overclocking ability cuz i think my PC2100 Mushkin is holding me back. Its fairly stable at 148mhz bus. Seems to lock up when loading a game or webpage every couple days though. I suspect my WinMe install has become buggy though.
 
I am using the EPOX 8KHA+. It is a great board for overclocking. I am using it with an
XP 1700+ which works out really great. The thing the I enjoyed most about the Epox was that
the BIOS is so easily multiplied.
You could also try out the Abit KR-7 RAID, but it about $60 more and the only difference is the
onboard RAID controller and it has one extra SIMM connector (for a total of 4). The Epox has decent
onboard audio quality.
For the price, the Epox gets my vote. I bought mine at NewEgg for $91.00. The Abit runs at about
$150 to $160.

GOOD LUCK!
 
Abit KG7-RAID with Athlon XP 1800+ - been running Windows XP 24/7 since October with no problems whatsoever.
 
Let me add the ECS K7S5A to the list. A guy at work just built an XP 1800 with one and said it was his easiest build yet. Low cost, great performance and very solid.
 
I ave the asus, and msi kt266a motherboards. and a crappy ecs k7s5a, some may have had it work for them but i have had bad luck with them and it also did for my friend
 
I have recently built systems with:

ECS K7S5A -2 in the last 3 months. Good solid board.
Epox 8KHA+ - 2 in the las few months. I use one of these boxes every day at the office. Great system
Soyo K7v Dragon Plus - for me!! I love it
