I had been waiting and waiting for the kt400a's to finally show up and when they are announced...they suck. I really didnt want an nvidia chipset but I guess that is where Im gana have to go. I cant wait any longer. the ak35 just sucks....then again it is gana go into my briefcase so I shouldnt knock it to much hehe
So which one is good? I was looking at the new abit one (NF7-s v1.2)...but abit sucks usually. Im not a big fan ot MSI or asus eithor...so what am I left with?

tritto (sounds like it should follow ditto) on the Epox 8RDA+. Get one and you'll be impressed. It is the best board I have ever bought.

Whats the sould like on that board?
So I need a different chipset heatsink? I prefer the passive ones. like the zalim or what ever its name is. That is what I use on my 2 kt266a's boards.

The onboard sound is pretty good. I have a Logitech Z-640 5.1 speaker setup connected to it with the 6 channel sound working great.
Doh!

Yet another quality product from VIA.
Yeah I read
ABIT and Asus have both canceled their KT400A Mainboards.
And
VIA announced the KT600 chipset which people were pleased to hear was on the way.

"Following the recent launch of its K7-based KT400A chipset, VIA is planning to release one more product, the KT600, for the AMD platform in May. According to sources, the KT600 (codenamed KT400A-CE) is pin-to-pin compatible with the KT400A (codenamed KT400A-CD), but is designed to support a 400MHz FSB. The KT400A only supports a 333MHz FSB."
