My Abit KR7A (Via KT266A) crashes in Premiere once a while. It was much worse before removing from using the RAID and installing the VIA latency PCI fix. Hope this helps. Frankly speaking, crashes are common when it comes to video editing.

i think i heard somewhere that p4 is like amazing for encoding if thats what you plan to use it for

i was actually thinking about getting the abit kg7a-raid board myself... perhaps i won't since you can't use the raid on it then.

thanks

I've got the epox EP-8K3A+, it got via chipset, but I've had no problems with it. Check my comp spec to see what I use it with, fast board and a good overclocker too.
