There's also a comparison test: Epox versus Asus:

(without loading the latest BIOS)
I've also seen reviews with A7V333 outrunning an Epox.
The thing is... it's not going to run stable at that speed, so you're still better off with an Asus, with all of its extra features, like USB 2.0, overheat protection (bye-bye MBM), 22 IRQs, CMedia sound, etc...
Also, Epox is what started a very large discussion because they didn't respect PCI specifications, so you couldn't fit the latest GeForce 4 Ti4600 on their board. They also had a problem with connecting a CD-ROM, because the mobo was in the way... (all is fixed now)
Personally, I'd rather go with an Asus, just because it has all I need, and it's capable of doing what I'll require it to do. It also won't have those squiggly paths on the mobo ("S" shape), a sign of poor design.

Ya, I guess I feel the same way about my Shuttle...
When it comes to the best of the best boards, its kinda like you style, you choose what you like and need...
