Any experience about EPOX 8K9A??

Anyone has any experience of EPOX 8K9A MoBo?
Problems, attentions...?
And does it support PC3200 400MHz DDR?

Yes, the board supports PC3200, but UNOFFICIALLY. That means that it won't auto-detect your Corsair memory as PC3200 b/c there is no offical JDEC standard yet for PC3200. It'll run it just fine though.

That said, you're obviously looking at getting a high-end board for your XP Athlon...you'd be better off purchasing an NForce board as they have better performance than the Via-based boards.

I have a 8K5A2+ (KT333) and it's a great board...love the extra channels you get with the Highpoint RAID controller. But I'm looking at an NForce as well.

OK thanx a lot... I'm not really up to date in the mobo business right now, so i'll just explore the options a bit more...
