Don't buy any of these, just wait for the KX-133 boards like Asus' K7V, they're more optimized and cheaper too...

See ya...

Might wanna check out these reviews on the current Athlon boards if you're considering buying a board soon.

Hope that helps. But like Arkos Reed said, you may wanna wait a month or so. Tyan and a few other companies are going to be putting out some great Athlon boards soon. They will be a bit pricey at first, though.
