Which DDR motherboard?

[MDM1]

I am thinking of buying a ddr motherboard for an athlon thunderbird @ 1.33 Ghz (266fsb)
which one should i get? there are not many out yet, should i wait? I am looking for the one that performs the best and has good overclocking features. Suggestions plz.

Epox 8K7A

Cheap.
Stable.
Multiplier, FSB, and Voltage adjustments.

Look at the Soltek SL-75DRV

great board

All of the boards are good. I would go with the Epox 8K7A+ right now for the best performance / price ratio.

where did you find that Epox 8K7A +

Japan first, but you can get it direct through Epox On-Line if you cannot wait until next week.

im sure i can wait, but who here thinks the chance is for the KT266 will blow the AMD chipset out of the water? i mean the AMD chipset is really nice and i doubt that the KT266 can BEAT it by alot. They will probably be neck and neck. Do I have anything to worry about if i get the epox 8k7a+?

If you're looking for good overclocking, why are you getting a 1.33??

Many of the 1 GHz and 1.1s and most all of the 1.2s have the same core as the 1.3 and 1.33. Both 200 and 266 FSB varieties.

Anaconda, I've been scouring the reviews, trying to decide that same question. Well, my MSI K7T266 Pro will be here tomorrow. The review on it by HardOCP is what tipped the scale. I'm betting that in 3 months, everyone will be looking for KT266 boards, rather than AMD 760/761. Hope I'm not totally wrong.
