The Visiontek GF4 Ti4600 card was the first one to have problems with SOME Epox 8KHA+ boards,at Epox site they have some GF4 Ti4600 models listed that work fine with that board,they are Gainward,WinFast(Leadtek),MSI, in the real world there are probably more cards that fit fine,I also read that Visiontek were redesigning their cards to fit ok even though it`s not their fault but Epox.

The GF4 Ti4200 is smaller then the 4400/4600 models so should fit fine.

Even if you end up with one of the rare combinations of VT GF4 and 8kha+ that fits tight,
as a last resort, Epox will exchange 8kha+ with one that uses smaller caps, at no charge.
Do not let this issue stop you from getting one of the best motherboards available.

Ha!, I have an old Athlon A750 with a Epox 7KXA slot A mainboard (first Athlon mobo from Epox).
I wanted to change the 4Mb AGP card for a 3Dfx Voovoo 3 3000 TV and found that two capacitors that are placed touching the APG port connector prevents the insertion of the video card, the metal disipator from the card is not allowing to insert it fully. So Epox is making misstakes since quite a time.
