A7A266 is not a very good board for DDR. It gets the same performance as the Asus A7V133. A friend of mine purchased it and got horrible performance with a duron 900, but still better than his P3 1 GHz (if that says anything) If your gonna buy a motherboard with DDR capabilities get one that has the AMD 760 (also known as 761) chipset. the A7M266 mobo from Asus and the Biostar one with the same chipset is also supposed to be good. I personally have the A7M266 but unless you solder on the right parts you can only overclock through the Front side bus.
