FIC AU11 = Epox 8RDA+

[Doomguy]

I saw posts at a few boards about the FIC AU11 being the same board as the Epox 8RDA+. I couldn't find a decent vendor with the 8RDA+ in stock so I ordered the AU11 from outpost.com with overnight shipping. I finally got my computer running then I flashed the latest 8RDA+ bios onto it. It worked flawlessly, as I had expected.

So if you guys are looking for the 8RDA+ and can't find it, then pic up the FIC AU11 and flash the Epox's bios onto it.

Heh, no one cares?

I think it's just that most people already know. Maybe, anyhow. Just speculating. It's been discussed elsewhere, not in great detail in the Mobo forums, but surprisingly in the 8RDA+ thread in the Hot Deals forum. The prices for the two are pretty close, just a few $ in difference (unless you're looking at NewEgg's silly $132 price tag for the 8RDA+), so, it's pretty much up to whichever's available.
