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. -Tony- "Mike Portnoy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:BtPM9.22179$[email hidden]... > I need to replace my motherboard and wanted to get some feedback on theEpox > EP-8RDA, with Corsair XMS 256MB PC-3200 C2 ram.
