Epox 8HDA3+: Epox have a good reputation behind them, so I think it's safe to say we're already excited to see how the Epox 8HDA3+ will perform in the PCstats labs. Based on the VIA K8T800 and VT8237 chipsets, this K8 Epox motherboard features support for up to 3GB of DDR400, AGP8X, ATA133, SATA RAID, and 6 channel audio. Two Ethernet connections are included, one for 10/100 and the other a 1 GbE connection with "Auto MDI/MDIX and virtual cable Net-Diagnostic support." What that describes I'm note entirely sure. Look for PCstats' review of the Epox 8HDA3+ very soon. This is a socket 754 Athlon64 motherboard.

Epox 8KDA+: The socket 754 Athlon64 Epox 8KDA+ is based on the "Crush8" nVidia nForce3 150 chipset, and while there aren't as many onboard goodies as with the 8HDA3+, there are still many things to keep the gamer and performance user satisfied. For starters, the 8KDA+ features support of upto 2GB of DDR400, AGP8X, ATA133, USB2.0, SATA and 10/100 Ethernet.
