What one would you all pick? I like the Iwill kk266 because it has onboard sound the Abit does not. The Kk266 is $107 and the Abit is $95 so what do you all think?

Iwill kk266 or Abit KT7E

Both boards get great reviews and are easy to overclock. The Iwill has on board sound, which is pretty decent. It is a tough call, I tend to lean towards the Iwill, just because of past experience w/ their support staff. The Iwill customer support is great and they deliver as promised.

Well, choose what you may, but like you said, the KT7E has no sound and joystick ports typically come on sound cards.... (since you'd have to add a sound card this would not be a problem.)

ok nevermind now this board is off my list you can't conpare this board to the iwill kk266. The Iwill is far more better then this board. I was talking to them over at the Amdmb.com fourms and they said I better off sticking with the kk266. Because it runs out of the Box one guy had to turn the volts up on his ram just to keep it stable....

I own the KT7E, but in this case would recommend the Iwill because it is a guaranteed 266fsb, whereas the Abit doesn't. Although, I do hate onboard sound...
Plus, you can change your Bios on the Iwill on a daily basis

EPOX all the way. The 8K7A+ series kicks them both into touch. FSB increasable in 1MHz increments? Thats the baby for me. Clock till it drops.

My "E" is stable. Running rock solid with duron 800 @ 1.g
Play UT arena all the time NO problems. Of course I use a mouse NO joystick.
BIOS adjustments 1 mg at a time also, oh yah running @ 133 FSB, So screw their NO guarantee @ 133. And the blue is KEWL also, as I have my cases open.
And you can tweak the BIOS all day if you want.
Thats what I like is when people put a mobo down and they never had it befor. And not all mobo's are the same.
But it's up to you to decide.
Just my $0.02.
Of course my T-bird sys is my baby
Good luck.

Yeah it looks likea good board but I looked at that review site you had a link for Viahardware or something like that. They said somewere in their that they are not too sure about the Northbridge chip that Abit used and some other stuff.
