Which motherboard between these 2?

OK I am putting together a new system to be used as a MAME machine, and one of my present systems is running an ECS K7S5A, the new board is a Biostar M7VIQ, these boards have different chipsets, they are a SiS 735 System Chipset and VIA KM266/VT8235 respectively.

My question is: with all else being the same, I want to put the best board of the 2 in my main system, so what board is the best performer? Forget about all the other options like the on board stuff and slots or whatever, these options will not be used on my main system, I just want to know what is the fastest most stable board between these, and please don't tell me to go buy an XYZ board or whatever, rememember I already have both these and it is between the 2.
 
Another vote for ECS. Via chip is supposed to be faster, SIS more stable from what I've read. I haven't had any problems with the stability of the via266-e chipset myself.
