I like it too.
It's cheap and it comes with additional usb port panel, norton antivirus 2000 and ghost.

I also haven't had any problems. If you wanna get a rock solid PC, with not much money to spend. This motherboard is a great choice.


Question for all you ekta2 owners when OC have you played at all with the FSB or do you just stick with the multipliers and voltage tweaks.

I replaced an 8kta2 for an MSI pro2a
and now I am shaking myself wondering why.

The 8kta2 performed predictably and flawlessly
and although the pro2a is far from horrible, it's
not what i'd call issue free.

I don't like the power management of the pro2a (no wake on mouse by default or any way I can find) and my optical usb mouse doesn't seem to like the board (flickers on and off)and doesn't
do it in other systems.

So I guess the moral is to get what works and then just LEAVE IT ALONE.

Having said all that, I think the 8kta3+ will be really yummy with 133mhz fsb
as well as RAID onboard!

GAWD, think I just found my next board of the month.

Another thumbs up for the 8kta2. One question I have is where does the USB header plug in? I cannot find the recepticle on the MB

T-Hipster:

Secondary USB header located right next to BIOS chip, under the chassis fan header.

The only problem I've had with my ep-8kta+ is when I go to a higher multiplier setting and don't have the Vcore set high enough,that's just part of the o/c game.After a DIP switch resetting to a good voltage it's trouble free.

Which is what you want from a mobo,to run things invisibly,like it's not even there.So you can devote your time to the really important things---- like getting to 1gig+.
