this might interest you from toms hardware http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/01q4/011126/index.html compares 14 Boards with KT266A and nForce 420D chipsets, includes epox & drv2

Yeah, seen the article. Think I should get the ATA-133 support? (since, if I'm not mistaken, my HD is ATA133)

Is pretty much everthin else the smae? (did't see the redstorm overclocking think on the drv4... but I'm guessing its there)

of course, the previous post is jusy deciding between the drv2 and drv4 (not that I am going to get either, I could still get something else)
