    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.
