Guys, if you're in the market for some new technology for under your
hood, I strongly suggest that you check out the 18 mainboard lineup that
just came out as of May 9th on Toms:

These boards are using the new VIA Apollo KT333 chipset; its the one
I've been waiting for, so I could upgrade.

There is one board that evidently came out too late for their tests,
which took over two weeks.  It's one I'm personally watching:

However, no matter how good the Abit board looks on Abit's home site,
I'm not going to buy it until it's been reviewed in a roundup.  I'm in
the market for a mobo upgrade.

As it sits, judging from the roundup, I'm looking strongly at either the
Epox 8k3a+, or the Enmic 8TTX2+.  The Gigabyte got a strong review, but
if a mobo doesn't have at least 7 slots, it's not interesting. 
Overclocking features are important too, which both the Epox and Enmic
have.  I wish he'd go ahead and update this roundup with the Abit
KX7-333R, so I could finalize a decision.
