I dont have one but I am going to a computer show this weekend and.... you never know. If I get one I'll send ya my findings. It's definitely my DDR board of choice at this point, based on the reviews.

I've got one and there's a lot to love. Jumperless, no lockups, hangs, no PhoenixNet to deal with (you need the newest BIOS dated 07/05), fast, and very stable. If you're gonna get one go to this review:www.lostcircuits.com/motherboard/epox_8kha/
and learn about the BIOS settings for the best OC experience. Here are my scores:

8.5X160 701 ALU/905 FPU Sandra 2001 te.

Here's my RAM and settings:

Crucial 2100 256MB CAS 2.5, 2:6:2, 1T, 4way enabled, Fast R-W Turnaround and Continuous DRAM Refresh enabled. I had to go to CAS 2.5 as 2 wasn't stable and this combo of FSB and settings gave superior performance over an FSB of 151 w/CAS 2.

I'm running WinXP RC1 with complete stability and excellent performance.

Can you tell I'm impressed?

Setting the CPU parameters in the BIOS was a big thing for me... coming from an Abit, I have promised myself to settle for nothing less.....

I just got to see the tweak settings on the ABIT KG-7 perhaps that is a tweakers dream. We will see
