In your opinion wich one Motherboard is the best for overclocking Athlons in terms of stability/highest posssible clock speed.
Just to sort things out between us.

do u want an sdram board or ddr?
what kind of cooling will u have?
what components do u allready have?
r u considering raid?
if u r than the board i have is a good o/c board.it is the only board i know of that will run the delta black label fan on the fan header but there may be others now.if u want to o/c from the keyboard instead of using jumpers,its good for that.
i might mention that some users have experienced some issues with this board including myself,however i have not determined that these issues r due to the board and not due to my own ignorance of the hardware configuration and setup.
without more info this is a unanswerable question.
the kt7a and the iwill r both good mb's for sdram.
i might also add the experience i have gained from this board has been worth much more than its cost.

Well, I already run a liquid cooled (not water) Amd athlon 13.33 @ 1.97 on a concept motherboard, from an unamed manufacturer. using sdram. I am going to build a multi media/Gamer computer with a Geforce 3, so I guess It would be ddr memory then, to give the best boost to performance. and whatever Athlon that´s fastest at the moment. no Raid, since I will ojnly use two ata-100 Hdd:s and an ide DvD. So DDR memory, no Raid. and Liquid cooling, with fans for MB cooling.

you will only use 2 ata100 hdd's?? that makes absolutely no sense, i run 2 western digital ata 100 20 gig drives in raid 0 and it makes a huge difference, that comment u made was insane.

Oh dear. Let me clarify. I will use one ata-100 as small as I can find, only for the system- and swap files, and another large(ish) ata-100 for all other files. Atleast in my previous tests this has made a much bigger difference than raid, but I ahve not used Ata-100 before. scsi drives might be faster in a raid system. But please correct me if I am wrong. If I use two ata-100 drives, and raid them. will that prove faster than my approach? In that case, what is the better MB to use if I choose to use raid on two ata-100 drives?
