Could you name a decent Athlon option from either one that supports stuff like 
PC3200 DDR, IDE RAID, a good 4 GB of RAM, and 6 USB 2.0 ports?  I actually 
think it's just EPoX's 8K5A3+ that's a lemon board, though I did have the 
problem that my reset button didn't work with the 8KTA3Pro once I upgraded 
from Radeon VE to Radeon 8500
