I'll have to have words with Andy when i see him this weekend. I
guess it all depends on whether you want to overclock or not, but he
actually recomended the KR7 Raid Board because it is not a
particularly good board for overclocking, but it is rock-steady
running stock. Hence my arguement for using DDR 2100 as compared to
DDR 2700 on a KR7 Raid. Although I did see the board that Andy got
his latest record on, which was a KR7A Raid board, with some fairly
serious voltage mods on it. IMHO the EPOX boards
are the best for overclocking but MOBO's are personal, I run my axia
on an A7V133, which doesnt get  brilliant press, but personally I
cant fault it
