Hiya,
I have always had Asus up until last rebuild and i got the Abit KR7A-raid
Now i must say i seem to of been very lucky according to some reports about via chipsets, But that said i followed all known install sequences to stop any via miscompatablities
Anyways i would got for the Abit but that's just my 2c (or 3.2pence in queens money
)
And while your at it you might wanna look @ the Abit KT400 chipset mobo's if you decide to go the Via way
