New Epox KT333 Mobo question

Anyone know if the new Epox (KT333) mobo has moved capacitors out of the way so the GeForce4 4600 will fit properly?
 
"We also used the board with the newer GeForce4 Ti4600 graphics card and everything ran smoothly."

Straight from Tbreak.com's review on the board.
 
So far there are 3 revisions of the 8k3a+ board.
Revision most reviewed is 1.1 (but not seen in retail).
Revision most can purchase is 1.0
Revision some have found at Fry's is 1.2
All use KT333ce. None use active cooling.
None have USB2.0, and all only have 4 max USB ports (no headers for front USB).
Differences between revisions seem related to audio, and also possible performance.
Which one you get is a crap shoot.
Point is, even if you only have the KT133a, I would wait a few weeks for this to shake out.
Epox says rev 1.1 should ship within 2 weeks. (why it ships after rev 1.2?)

Also, in perhaps 4 weeks, ver 8k3a2 may start appearing.
It should have all improvements plus 4 USB 1.1 and 4 USB 2.0 ports, also adds active cooling.

The GF4 problem was rare, and it seems different Visiontek versions worked fine with any Epox.
In fact, most Visiontek owners had no problems using with 8kha+ boards. (even those with tall caps).
 
Thanks for the input guys. I am not going to buy a KT333 just yet. I plan on waiting until May or June.
