PC Stats has posted an Epox EP-8RGA+ nForce2-IGP Motherboard review
The question today is if nforce2-IGP packing EP-8RGA+ motherboard will behave exactly like the EP-8RDA+, or will it be able to differentiate itself from its SPP brother? Like all nForce2 motherboards, the Epox 8RGA+ supports 200/266/333MHz FSB AthlonXP processors, and even the anticipated 400MHz FSB variety should AMD decide to release them (we vote Yes! on that question). The three DIMM slots are standard feature on all nForce2 boards and can hold a maximum of 3 GB of PC1600/2100/2700/3200 DDR memory. The onboard components include ATA/133, two Firewire ports (IEEE 1394), 10/100 LAN, six ports USB2.0, game port header and 5.1 audio among others. Since all GeForce4 cards support Nvidia's Twinview (including the onboard GeForce4MX) Epox have bucked the trend and equipped the EP-8RGA+ with twin analog display output connectors - that's right, two of em! - so users can take full advantage of dual displays. An 8X AGP slot is also available for full-fledged videocars. So far, this is the only nForce2 mainboard we have tested to feature twin VGA connectors where you'd typically find the serial ports. Since serial ports are not used as frequently with brandname consumer gear which has long since adopted USB, the serial ports have been relegated to headers along the bottom edge by the last PCI slot.Read more
