Which Chipset/MB for DDR?

[james1972]

Well after posting my first question about which MB, I looked around and started pricing parts. I see PC2100 is only $48 for 256mb, so I figure why not go ahead and upgrade to DDR since I am buying a new MB/CPU and this ram is cheap now. So after researching chipsets, I gather I should stay away from any of the VIA sets. I came up with these.....
ALI Magik1----IWILL KA266, SOYO SY-K7ADA,
ALI M1647----ASUS A7A266
AMD 761----- EPOX 8K7A, GIGABYTE GA-7DX, FIC AD11,
BIOSTAR M7MIA, AOPEN MK7A.

I have seen good reviews about the EPOX, but are any of the other boards comparable to the EPOX in cost and OC features? Thanks for the help.

I've got the 8K7A at the moment running Palomino - excellent product - very very good overclocker and very configurable. Far superior in uqality and performance to the Gigabyte and Biostar.

I would avoid the ALi chipset at all costs.
