I'm going to be upgrading from my Slot-A 500 setup soon, and price isn't really an issue anymore. I'm planning on getting a 1.4 266FSB T-bird to go with it, plus some of Compuwiz's PC2400 DDR. I'm also going to be using a pair of IBM 34GXPs for RAID with it.
Anyway, has anyone used any DDR RAID boards? I'm going to go check out some of the manufacturers just to get some model numbers, but I'd like to hear peoples' opinions on what a good board would be. If you know of some websites that have done reviews of these boards, I'd like to know that too. Thanks folks

the Epox 8K7A comes in a + Raid version, but seems hard to find at the moment. Maybe due to some power handling problems, I think they are working on it. Could be temporarily not being shipped to resellers. I have the regular version and it's a nice, stable board with FSB adjustments to 250 mghz with the latest bios. Also uses the 1/5 divider over 166 mghz. Now if I just had memory that could reach that

Actually they have just introduced a new version of this mobo which is ment to phase out the 2 previous releases. The "pro" version. see here http://accelenation.com/?doc=48
If you can find them, the 8KTA3 does not have raid while the 8KTA3+ does. That being the only difference.
Hmm....looks like a good board - the 8K7A+, that is. Blade, the board you pointed out is an SDR board :tongue I like my current board, which is also an Epox, so that one has something going for it, at least in my mind
...but I've also been looking at MSI's K7T266Pro-R, which is similarly priced at Newegg.com (which is where I'm planning on buying my board). Anyone used that one or know of any reviews for it?
