Motherboard choice dilemma!

Ok here is my problem, I am in need of a new motherboard for my soon to be PC. I plan on having a 1.4ghz TBird(266MHZ FSB), GeForce 3, 256mb DDR. It's going to be a gaming system. I also plan to overclock it as far as humanly possible. However, I don't know what motherboard to choose! Here is what I want, I want the MB based on the AMD Chipset (The 760 right?), as I hear its the fastest (I know SiS beat it, but I'll buy a SiS later when they come out.) I also would like Raid and if possible one ISA slot. I'm not sure if there are any boards based on the AMD chipset with an ISA slot if not then I guess I'll have to buy a PCI hardware modem. The MB has to have good overclock options and decent price/stability.
Any help would be great....I'm a picky shopper =)

Oh it almost must be able to be fitted with a Swiftech MC462.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Steve_TeraFlop on 06/28/01 01:41 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
 
Too bad they dropped the ISA slot from the ABIT K*7-RAID series. The KG7-RAID would have been perfect. If you can forfeit the ISA slot thats the one.

Oh, BTW - at these processor speeds you don't have to worry about using a Winmodem. You won't notice it.

I have finally decided on a board now.
After reading everything I could about them all I am deciding to go for the Epox 8k7a+ mobo! I know Abit is soon going to release their new board, but its gonna be more expensive and I'm not buying into the man! Plus Epox seems to be doing a great job with this board according to most everyone. The only thing I wish is that it had better voltage increments and a softmenu for fsb and multiplier.
