what's the difference between EPOX 8KHA+ v. 8KHAL+?

[duuuma]

newegg's got the 8KHAL+ for $71

I know the 8KHA+ has been an excellent board, but how about this 8KHAL+ w/ the 8233A southbridge? I'm in desperate need of a new board, so please share some knowledge!

I think the HAL version doesn't give you any OC options at all.

The 8KHAL has OC but its mainly with jumpers instead of through the BIOS. I have had mine about 8 months, I think its a good board for the money if you're not worried about OCing but want the epox quality.

Do a google search, there were a couple reviews of the board on somewhat obscure tech sites it got good reviews.

thanks for the help....


i was really sad when my epox 8KTA2L died on my suddenly after 1.5 years...so i was hoping another epox board to bring joy back into my life

well, i decided that the DDR ram was just too expensive for me, so i bought another KT133a board, an MSI k7T turbo2.

on most manufacturers models, I believe the "L" designates the board has onboard LAN

At least Intel boards are that way.. that Epox board may be the same way..

 

[duuuma]

nope actually, on my epox 8KTA2L, the difference from the 8KTA2 was the chipset...it was KT133e instead of KT133.

 

[JOSEPHLB]

you're right..

I was just checking out the Epox boards...

so many letters, model numbers, blah blah ABC 123 ..

in Epox, L means Lite version.
