Can't go wrong w/ an A7V333. It has onboard ATA/RAID (selectable through jumper), and the KT333 chipset, so it supports a /5 divisor for FSBs over 166.

I like the Abit KX7-333. IMHO it is the best board currently. Affordable, just 100.00 w/ RAID, performance is one of the best, stablity is one of the best, and overclocking too. The board loves the FSB, and "kat" from DSLR (DSLReports.com), got easily over 3000/x, x being a number I forgot on the Sisoft Sandra memory scores w/ a 210 fsb I think. He could have went higher but it was a customer PC. The board loves the FSB.

Good Luck choosing.

Is your XP unlocked? If not, I see no reason to get a kt333 motherboard as you will never come close to 166 FSB with the stock multiplyer.

Get an Epox 8kha+ or Abit KR7a raid board instead.

If you unlock, go for the Abit KX-7 333r. It stomps the other kt333 boards (no onboard anything except raid)! A7V would be good as well, with lots of onboard goodies.

Unlock

Check the AMD CPU's section for guides on unlocking the L1 bridges. For an XP 2100+, you'll also have to do something extra. Check it out here.

I recommend the Epox 8K3A+ , vcore is adjustable to 2.1v and the mem can be adjusted up to 3.2v.
