      I saw an article recently on how the nForce 415 boards beat the KT266a boards - don't know how readily available they are though....
      I think I'd be tempted to find out when the KT333 boards will be available too
      :glasses2:

      If MSI is around in your area - try looking for the KT3 ...is has the KT133 chipset, USB2.0, Ultra133 HD support & Promise Ultra133 Raid 0 built in
      & MSI is usually pretty resonable too
      Might not be in stores yet though

          Either the MSI or the Abit boards using the KT266A chipset. Accept no substitutes (unless the KT333 chipset hits the streets). :)

            I got me one of them last week. While it's probably not the best of the bunch, I haven't had a problem with it at all.. Overclocked the FSB, didn't crash.. So it's stable at least..

              The MSI board is a good choice......

              I'd be a bit wary of the KT333 chipset at this stage...VIA have already announced it is being replaced if not already with the KT333A chips set which is considerably faster...and I think you may have trouble getting properly certified 333 ram at a reasonable price.

              Although not on your list, the Epox 8KHA+ would also be a good choice...especially for overclocking....

              Good luck
