Is the BIOS the only difference between the two?

What's the advantage of one vs the other?

Two different Epox boards.

8KHA is based on the older VIA KT266 chipset .

8KHA+ is based on the VIA KT266A chipset which is newer and much faster,the Epox 8KHA+ is the better board of the two.

The previous posts are correct, 8KHA uses kt266 chipset while 8KHA+ uses kt266a. The kt266a is much faster, especially the memory subsystem. Either shell out the extra 20 bucks to get the 8kha+ or look at another kt266a board.
