OT: need advice on a new m/b

by Mike Portno » Sun, 22 Dec 2002 10:29:05

I need to replace my motherboard and wanted to get some feedback on the Epox
EP-8RDA, with Corsair XMS 256MB PC-3200 C2 ram. I have a T-bird 1000
athalon, but plan on replacing it with an XP 2600-333 cpu as soon as the
price comes down...tia..

I *just* finished upgrading to an Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo.  What a pain.  In
the process of trying to work out the bugs, I ran across a hardware site
which stated the Epox EP-8RDA has some pretty serious issues, but I can't
remember exactly what they are.  This site recommended not buying this board
until they are resolved.  It may have been www.overclockers.com, but I'm not
sure.  I finally got this A7N8X board running, but I don't think I could
recommend it either.  It is however suprisingly fast.  If I had it to do
over again, I think I'd just get some cheap KT400 board.  Good luck.

Thanks I read on their forum that this mb can kill a gf4, and has some
unsolved problems..
