"The Epox 8k7a and 8k7a+ are nice boards at a nice price.... but if you want a Rolls Royce, go with the Asus A7M266."
Yeah...ok. How did you come to refer to the Asus as the "Rolls Royce". It can't adjust the multiplier, and most can't even hit high FSB's because of the lack of multiplier control. Also, you get a useless CNR/AMR slot, and only 5 PCI slots... Sounds more like a Hyundai to me...
hehe-I went shopping for a ddr board a few weeks back with my cousin-I haven't kept up with ddr mobos since I got a KT133a a while back-surprised to see hardly any mobos offering multiplier adjustment-I knew many ppl on AT were using Epox'es but since I thought HK didn't have them the only option was...............2themax
I had expected the Asus to have the works but instead MUCH disappointment

Of the two you listed the Asus is more stable IMO but the Epox is a better OC, depends on what you want to do. You might also consider the Giga-Byte. I have used all three of those boards and favor the Giga-Byte with the Asus second choice and Epox 3rd. i had problems with my Epox RAID controller but it could be a bad board and isolated circumstance.
I vote for the Epox 8K7A. I use it in my main rig and it's been incredibly stable, especially considering it's running Windows 98SE. Good board for a great price!
