OCW takes a look at the EPoX EP-5EPA+ i915P mainboard
Features-wise, the EPoX 5EPA+ is probably the only board we come across that features not only SATA RAID but IDE RAID as well. This is definitely a plus especially when the price of SATA HDD are generally slightly more expensive and does not perform much better than its IDE counterpart. It also has Gigabit Ethernet, 8 ch audio 8 USB ports etc on board. We managed to POST up to 275 x 14. It is a pity that the SATA HDD cannot be recognised when FSB is set above 256MHz. At 256MHz x 14, we get very stable performance running the system with cpu:ram at 5:4. Just ensure that PCI-E is not set to FIX but to AUTO.Read more
