EPoX EP-9NDA3+ Motherboard Opinions

[BornStar]

I'm building a computer for my father and I want some opinions on the EP-9NDA3+. We're going with a A64 3500+ 90nm and one stick of PC3200 RAM for the time being. He isn't going to want to overclock or do anything crazy with it but he wants a computer that will be stable. Is this a good choice? I'm trying to keep my price as close to $100 as possible (this one's $130ish so I don't want to go much higher). I definitely want to stick with socket 939. Thanks for any insight.

edit: I'm looking at Mushkin RAM. I'm going with the cheap stuff too. If he feels like he needs a little more speed or just more space, I can easily add another stick.

Nobody has any opinions on this? I'd really like something even if it's "I have this board and have no problems with it" or a "EPoX is terrible, stay away from their products". I don't care, just give me something.

I have heard good thingsabout that board and wouldn't hesitate to try one since I have a good number of Epox boards out there still going strong I have only lost 1 Epox in about 3yrs of using them on and off when they have the right price-to-performance ratio and that 1 was my own and heavily abused :evil:

EDIT; I almost forgot about my old MVP3 G2 that I gave to a friend that is still chugging along

Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks.

My dad is currently running an Epox NF2 Ultra mobo, and in my media box I have another Epox NF2 board. Currently onboard a FedEx truck my 9NDA3+ is on its way from newegg Anandtech did a review of this board awhile ago, click on the motherboad tab and scroll down, you will see it.

Yeah, I read through the review and it sounded nice. They just don't do any long term testing that I can tell. Thanks for your input.
