I am thinking of building the top-ass pc based on the AMD T-bird 266Mhz/FSB

Which is the best MOBO around
1 --> MSI K7T PRO limited edition /with VIA KT 133
2 --> MSI K7T 266 PRO (MS 6380)/ with VIA KT266
3 --> other MOBO (possible with the ALi or AMD chipset)

I could use some help

Regards

I have the MSI k7t pro-r. It's pretty nice, I stuck 512mb of ddr in it. Here's my setup:

It's pretty sweet, we're still working on some problems with getting the dvd player to play dvd's smoothly, but other than that all the "kinks" are worked out. That board had a problem where it would just not boot sometimes, but all the lights would be on and stuff, but MSI had a fix already there, so that was the end of that problem.
