What's with EPoX's naming system?

Really confusing if you ask me. Just a public service annoucement.

You forgot the numbers which come at the end of the NDA boards (3).
8xxx means it's a Socket A or 754 board, 9 means it's a 939 board.
NDA3x meand it's an nForce 3 board.
NPA+ means it's an nForce 4 board.

That sort of makes sense now. Thanks for that .
Edit: If you notice, all the other boards use some variation of K8N in their name (after the K8N Athlon64).

ASUS A7N was for the A7N
ASUS A8N (-e/-sli) is like "I'm an Asus, K8N, nForce4
ASUS A8V (-e) was for the VIA

etc

But now at least I know how to tell what an ePox board is .

Actually Asus is simpler than that.

First two letter/numbers indicates socket

SK - Socket 940
K8 - Socket 754
A8 - Socket 939
K7 - Socket 462

P4 - Socket 478
P5 - Socket T/775

The folowing letters indicate chipset in AMD's MB, and well, I just haven't figured it out for intel boards, except for the new ones.

P5RD1 - R for Radeon Express
P5ND2-SLI - nForce4 IE
P5S800-VM - SiS

Also, the VM or MX suffix indicates integrated video.

Well the K8N-DL (940 Opteron board) doesn't work with that . Should be SKN DL or something .

What about A7, as in A7N8X etc

I know Asus uses P5GD1 which GD stands for Grantsdale
and P5AD2 is AD for Alderwood, etc.

A7N8X is A = AMD or Socket A, 7 = K7 chip (like K6... K8 is A64), N is for nForce chipset, 8X i belive is the AGP, or just some random identifier.
In comparison: A7V8X is A = AMD or Socket A, 7 = K7 chip, V is for Via chipset, 8X AGP.

K8N is K = s754, 8 = K8 chip, N = nForce.
Same as how K8V is K = s754, 8 = K8 chip, V = Via (or K8S = SiS chipset).

The A in A8V/A8N and variations just stands for s939.

Oops double post.
