New motherboard?

[IFMU]

Hello alls, a question for you... I am going to be getting a new motherboard soon, hopefully within the week. However I want to get a good one, not like what Ive been getting in the past. My present Mobo is a MSI K7T Turbo MS 6330. Its not a bad motherboard overall, but I cant change alot of the multiplier/volt settings in the bios. Basiclly right now I have an Athlon T-Bird 1.2 AXIA B.. I think that the B part is right, not quite sure. But its the lower quiality 200 if I remember right. My ram is cheap arse PC133. The plan is to get some DDR ram soon, but I need a mobo that can handle it. Yes I am overclocking so I need it to be adjustable and stable setup. I know alot of people suggest ABIT and ASUS boards, but beyond that I am not to sure, I would like the capability to add raid to it later, if thats an option. I need at least 5pci slots, and of course an agp. I would prefer at least 3 ram slots, and the mobo to handle 266 fsb. Im still learning all the mobo info, so go easy on me... if you can help tell me why the board you suggest is the way to go, I learning, not stupid... ok so I can be that too! I need nothing onboard, I have 2 vid cards im putting in, Prophet IIMX and the Riva TNT2, SoundBlaster Live Gamer, 10/100 Linksys LAN card. And within the near future I also want to get a newer vid card, and go triple Monitors... So the PCI's are needed. well I think Ive rambled along enough, but any help would be great...
thanks ahead of time...

The Epox DDR is great(why don't they have normal names?). It is really stable and good amount of oc'ing options. IT is probably the best right now.

If possible, wait for Abit KG7-RAID. It should provide you with all those features you asked. As a "small" note, it's best to use Registered DIMMs with it, as it won't handle more than 2 Unregistered DIMMs, but it takes a maximum of 4 Registered DIMMs. These are all DDR.
It also has the (in)famous HTP370 RAID-controller, which should come in handy.

Abit is also releasing an almost exactly same mobo, but with the KT266 rev2 chipset. I can't sadly remember where I saw the Abit roadmap
The KT266 mobo isn't on their website either yet.
