GL buddy,
I'd go for the Abid KR7A board. It's not a RAID board, but if you shop around you can find somewhere that sells it for the 120 $ price range. I've just built my new system, and love this MB.

thank you.

thanks.

ABIT makes a non raid version of the KR7A, it's cheaper
I've been running my KR7A for just about 2 months now and havent had any problems.
Great manual, easy to setup, great stability, good OC capabilities (not the best though since it is limited to 1.85 core voltage).

I wouls definitley drop the Abit board. I had one and it sucked. Yesterday I just bought an Epox 8KHA+, and, except for the lack of functional FDD, i'm very happy with it.

kinda funny how you say the abit board sux and then your epox can't even get something as simple as the FDD to work :P
