Hey all. I'm about to buy a new board and I'm having a hard time deciding on which one to get. I was set on getting the Asus A7N266-C (Nforce 415) with a AMD XP 1900. But I keep reading about the EPOX 8K3A+ KT333CE (VIA Apollo KT333(VT8367) with the fore mentioned CPU. Onboard RAID would be nice, but not essencial since I have a Promise fastrak I can use. What does count is that it will run the heck out of Photoshop. I want lots of speed and stablity with Win2K, and probably won't be overclocking it. I currently have a MSI 694D pro2 IR (Via) and have had lots of trouble with the chipset (althoug the 4.38's helped) Its just not as snappy as my other systems that are slower, and I'm not sure that I want more Via woes. Price really isn't an issue. So, what do guys think?
Thanks in advance!

The Epox 8K3A+ is a good choice,I`m using the older Epox 8KHA+ (Via kt266a) and it has been rock stable with no problems period(I`m using WinXP).Anyway I would`ve no problem in recommending the Epox 8K3A+,btw a review of that board is here .

Epox 8K3A+ is the better board of the two.

Actually the Epox board is probably the best KT333 board IMHO.
