I like my abit kt7a. no raid problems and multiplier problems. I don't like asus, if the mobo went bad their will sent you refurbish mobo.

I'd recommend Abit, Asus or IWill. Look at them and pick the one you like best (ie. jumpers or BIOS settings).

I agree w/ Tachyon, chooseing a MOBO is basically a personal preference.
It largly depends on what your goals are, pushing a CPU to the max, bulding a gaming rig or just as a daily workhorse. You ahve to decide where you are going w/ it. Read as many reviews and forum comments on the boards you are interested in, weight the +/- of the MOBO's in question and make a fairly educated choice from there.

I have an Abit Kt7-raid and besides the fsb un-overclocking ability I like it. I would look into the Abit Kt7E motherboard. It's nearly identical to the Kt7A yet only costs about 100 bucks. Definitely worth it if the reviews are somewhat correct.

Simple. KK266 by IWILL. faq at fullon3d.com has 25 reviews at the end that tells you so. IWILL forum at amdm.com has users verifying this as well.

It is also not just for OC'ing. it is the fastest stablest OC'ing board out there. PERIOD..

Almost forgot the poll at hardforums
