Need Motherboad Ideas. KT266A? Must have DDR support.

I currently have a Soyo K7V Dragon Plus VIA KT266A mobo in one of my machines. It is bugging out on me, and I am going to replace it. What is a good similar board? One that doesn't have a reputation of I/O Errors, currupted data, etc. I have had 2 dragon+ boards and each had some problems. The processor I am using is an Athlon XP 2000+ and I have 768 MB Crucial PC2100 DDR RAM for it. And a PNY GeForce3 TI200. I don't really need RAID but I don't mind if it is included. Onboard LAN and Sound is good.

You should get the MSI K7T266 Pro2. At least get the one with the USB 2.0 support. This is one of the most stable boards i have ever seen.

Gigabyte 7VRXP, very good mobo, stable, ATA 133, USB 2.0

Soyo is comming or has come out with the Dragon Ultra (the same mobo you have now with a better chipset and a few other add ons)

I will advise look for DDr333 capable boards. MSI has one that looks good on paper KT3 I believe. I am looking for one too, but in initial reasearch phase.
