FWIW: I have an Abit KT7-raid MB. It has run RedHat 7.1, 7.2, 7,3, 8.0 and now Gentoo 1.4 with no problems. (No overclocking) I think it is a VIA133 chipset. My only complaint is that I have had to replace the chipset fan (a 486 fan actually) about 3 times. Very annoying.
I would agree with the people who said, if you buy an over-clocker's MB, and then NOT overclock you should get a pretty stable system.
