Best SocketA DDr motherboard?

[cHodAX]

I am going to buy a 266mhx fsb tbird in the next few days and I have already ordered 512mb of pc2100 ddr ram from Crucial. I am uncertain of which DDR motherboard to go for, there is a real lack of decent reviews so far and there does not seem to be one clear cut winner. So, could anyone with a DDR motherboard post a reply and give me some feedback back on what they have? Thanx in advance

MSI K7 Master. Spec Page

One of the stablest (if not THE) DDR motherboards around. Great performance too.

Thanx for the reply MrHelpful, I will look into the MSI board right now. If anyone has a different opinion or any feedback on this board your comments we be great.

I couldn't agree more. That board is one amazing board. One guy on these forums had it at 10x150 with crucial ddr and a 1ghz axia. Needless to say he had some very awesome Sandra scores.

Check the ASUS a7m266 and don't forget about new ddr motherboard from epox ep-8k7a, they seem to be tight for now.

P.S. Ep-8k7a+ if you are interested in raid

I have 4 DDR motherboards, all running 1333/266 TBirds and have 512MB PC2100 Crucial. I have a FIC AD11, MSI K7Master, MSI K7T266, IWill KA266. The 2 best are the AMD760 boards, the AD11 and the K7Master. The AD11 is a very stable board, a little more stable that the K7Master,but a bios revision should fix that. The K7Master is a better OCer, both the AMD760 board out perform the other chipset boards. The K7T266 has alot of potential, but needs need several bios revsions to work out all of the bugs. I RMA'd my first one because the CPU fan header went out and it had the resistor on R127 instead of R126 where it belongs. The new one has the R126 resistor in place, I haven't had a chance to set it up and and compare it to the others, I will get to that later today.

I had the Msi K7 Master. I have to say that the Epox is a better board all the way around. Stable, better tweaker, and performance.
