Yeah the A7V had the KT133.  133MHz bus never worked of course until
the KT133A (which I believe the A7V133 that had).

I like my nforce2 boards (A7N8X-E-Deluxe).  The nforce3 chipset wasn't
bad, although mainly seemed to end up in athlon64 laptops.

The main purpose of later nvidia chipsets seems to have been to support
SLI.

Intel chipsets have almost always been quite good, although perhaps less
featured than the nvidia chipsets.  Of course with SLI support on the
new intel chipset boards possible these days (if the board maker licenses
SLI support), there isn't really a benefit to nvidia chipsets anymore.
For current intel CPUs there really isn't any choice other than intel
chipsets.

ATI chipsets I won't touch.  A shame that there doesn't seem to be any
other choices left for AMD CPUs.
