I would personally still use a SDRAM board and would choose the Abit KT7A-Raid as this mobo has recieved great reviews and is widely used and respected in these forums.
I am a Abit KT7A-Raid user and like how well documented and clearly laid out the manual is, the soft bios feature is easy to use and tweak. I now
have built four systems using this mobo, it overclocks well and is exceptionally stable from my experience.
Overall a Great mobo

i want the ddr ram and the 266 fsb though.... this system will be for doing heavy graphic work.... i am gonna load it with a GF3 GPU... 512 MB RAM.... the whole works.... i need all the speed i can get.

i just got an asus a7a266 and it's a pretty good board IMHO

the only things i don't like about this board are no raid support and the poor manual (but it explains enough to get the job done w/o frying your cpu @ least)

it's got 5 PCI, DDR + regular SDRAM support (don't use both @ same time or u can fry the ddr), and soft menu for overclocking (as well as by jumpers if you so choose)
