I am retiring my A7V133 because of consistent IDE corruption (I am
currently running PIO 4).  Can anyone make a quick recommendation of a
motherboard that they are happy with?  I am looking at

Asus A7N8x (Athlon)
Epox RDA+ (Athlon)
Asus P4PE (P4)

I have been an Athlon user but this VIA nonsense has me really annoyed
- I will not be buying a VIA product again.

I will probably be getting a 2.4 gig processor.

I am just looking for a basic functionality report - these MBs are
fairly new and I want to be sure they run -STABLE.

Thanks!

Mike H.
