From what I gather, the differences between the Iwill and the Abit are not great.... basically all I hear is that the essential difference is that the Iwill can push the envelope further in terms of FSB overclocking.... I mean, I have seen/heard of Iwill's going as high as 155-157 MHz FSB, where as the highest I have seen/heard Abit go is 148 MHz or so. But you know what? i'd rather not push FSB that far anyway.... the great thing about the Duron and the Tbird is that we have the option to overclock via multiplier. I think both are good boards.... I am not sure of the price difference, correct me if I am wrong, but the KT7A is a bit less expensive I think. After hearing of all the Asus maladies lately (particularly the A7M266 and the iPanel fiasco), I dont think I'd subject myself to their price gouging. I'm a little jaded, granted, as the KT7A-R is the best mobo I have ever owned.... but anyway. I think both boards are good and you'd be happy with either once this Iwill hype dies... everything is hyped when it first comes out but I think when this settles, you'll see just as many people buying KT7A boards as KK266's.
