If you plan on going dual AND with DDR support the only one seems to be the Iwill. I'm going to buy one also. I was convinced by the stability I have with my BD100+....it can run at 140 MHz FSB (remember it is 440BX chipset mobo) with no problems.

DVD266-R pros and cont:
Conts:
1.-No AGP Pro support. If you want a professional video card, you'll have to stick with an AGP4X.
2.-DDR RAM with PIII won't give you a lot of a boost. SEveral sites have reviewed this board and found only 5-8% increase from a SDRAM dual board.
3.-If you really are waiting for dual AMD, you can expect better results with an Athlon. I really don't like AMD (more like a personal opinion) but can hide the sun with only one finger.
Pros:
1.-The only Dual PIII mobo with DDR support.
2.-Iwill board are very stable.
3.-If you manage to get the mobo with an VIA Apollo Pro266-T chipset, you can get the new Tualatins to work in your board.
