Epox 8K3A+ information needed
21.11.08 at 14:12:59

I finally managed to get me one of these from eBay, it's boxed with all accessoires. I figured since some of you also own this motherboard I might as well ask some questions here.

1) Where can I find the latest bios and the flash utility for it?

answered

2) What's the best processor supported by the latest BIOS?

answered

3) Does the motherboard/chipset support Dual Channel?

answered

Dual channel was for DDR400 boards and up. My EPoX 8K5A3+ is single channel DDR.

My experience in the last four months is finding drivers/bios/manuals for the following EPoX boards:
8KTA2
8KTA3+PRO
8K5A3

The best thing to do for bios is to note the info on the EPoX website for dates for their bioses.

But really, you just need to go to www.epox.ru

Here's the link directly to your mobo's download page: http://www.itclinic.ru/download/brands/epox/ep-8k3aplus/&usg=ALkJrhiZ6Oe97hTuLqE...

I'm thinking of getting an AthlonXP-M 2500+ and pitting at 2400MHz with a 200MHz FSB. But if the AGP and PCI busses wil overclock as well, I might just go for a 3000+.

The best CPU for a non-OCed 3dfx-system is a Athlon XP 3200+ FSB333 (AXDA3200DKV4D) with 2333 MHz (14x166 MHz)!
