The A7M266 immediately gained good reputation for performance and stability. It became the number 1 choice for the hardcore over clocker and is still regarded by many as a kind of DDR reference board. Most recently we see the 2nd generation of AMD 760 boards: the Chaintech 7KJD, the MSI K7 Master, the Epox EP-8K7A, and again Gigabyte with the GA 7DXR, soon to be joined by Abit's KG7. These newer AMD 760 boards offer more features: up to 4 DIMM sockets, more PCI slots, and a more sophisticated power supply. But are they also better performing? We would like to compare here the venerable A7M266, with the latest 2 entries: the Epox EP-8K7A and the Gigabyte GA-7DXR. How is the A7M266 fairing in features, performance and overclocking capability against these newcomers? Can he hold on, or is he dethroned?
