hi all
i would like to buy a xp2100+ (northwood can be oc'ed to 3Ghz but this based system seems to be a bit too expensive) so i am looking for a socketA motherboard.
i have found 3 motherboards which appear to be worthy:
Abit KX7-333R, Asus A7V333R and EPoX EP-8K3A+
my needs are a good raid controller and i would like a best as possible overclocking.
of course the asus reputation is recognised and the Abit KX7-333R is the latest motherboard from the brand.
but i have found that the EpoX supplies up to 2.1v for the vCore and up to 3v for the DDR.
have you any comments? maybe someone already used those boards?
i am trully puzzling. i can't choose between those.
thanks for some enlightenments.
note:
i have found the reviews on tweaktown.

plus i don't really need special features like USB 2.0 or audio on-board.
