  I wonder if the KT133A (which is what the IWILL KK266 is based on)
differences
a could be a source of the problem. My FSB is at plain old 100 MHz
since I
have regular PC100 SDRAM. Overclocked, or not, I get the same results.
I,
too, had an ABIT KA7[-RAID] and it was rock solid. So much for "if it's
not broke, don't fix it" -- I should have listened to my gf, but that's
the life of an upgrader ;)... In general the IWILL got great reviews at
a
number of reliable hardware review sites, and hey, it doesn't lock up in
windows ;) (ok don't flame me for that ;)).
