Ohh my..Epox 8K3A+ KT333A - 6 IDE Channels!!

[LostHiWay]

Just saw on the EPoX site about these boards. Over on aoaforums.com the epox rep said to expect these boards to out in the market by the end of March!! Looks like I might have my next board in sight.

More info..from epox.com

As for the 8K3A, the board can support up to 2000+ XP, 600MHz to 1.4 GHz Athlon processor. Holds up to 3Gigs of PC 2700 memories, it has 6 PCI slots, 1 4X AGP slot, an onboard RAID with High Point 372 and for the 8K3A+, it will be the High Point 374. There is also the option of having USB 2.0 which supports up to 6 connection slots, built in AC 97and many other features.

Yup..looks neat. Pretty much the 8KHA+ with the KT333 and RAID...USB 2.0 is supposedly supported natively in Via's new southbridge..

Wow looks nice, but i must resist and wait for clawhammer motherboards .

 

[Ionizer86]

Hmm, looks tasty, but does it really have the KT333A like the title says, or the KT333 chipset?

Oh, and the pic only shows 5 PCI slots. Are there 5 or 6?

And when will we get integrated iLink on mobos? That would be good to have integrated iLink and USB 2.0

Wow, the last go for "parallel" ATA. 6 IDE devices is crazy as hell!!

I think they aren't going to have a KT333A....instead they are going to name it KT400 for some reason.

Too bad I won't be buying anything new for a while (just got a K7V Dragon Plus). Perhaps if I make a lot of money working over the summer . . . . .

Whoever made the initial pic did a bad job at photoshopping! The pins have the same shine!

That's not a photshop job man... Look here for the specs on Highpoints 374 chip...4 channel IDE ATA133 RAID. That is the same chip that was in the pic of the Epox mobo..
