Talking To Epox Tech... Questions about the Epox EP-9NDA+

http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2...2/comp04_9.jpg

Question 1. Any Idea when this will become available?
Question 2. Does the Nforce 3 Ultra have 8.1 audio built in (like the MCP-T Audio Processing Unit)
Question 3. Will the Bios allow for multiplier Over Clocking of the cpu's (FX's go up and down and the Athlon 64's go down).
Question 4. Will the board be able to run up to at least a 250Mhz bus speed
Question 5. Would the Corsair XL Pro PC4000 (Samsung 4NS chips cas2.5, 3, 3, 6) be a good setup to go with this board.

Okay the questions are out of the way.... and yes thats from last weeks Computex, and yes it is suppose to be a Socket 939 Nforce 3 Ultra chipset (not Nforce 3 250GB).

It looks like Nvidia Ultra version of the Nforce 3 is the replacement to the Nforce2 Ultra with MCP-T (as the boards list 8.1 audio and Firewire support but don't list addon chipsets for those components).

Currently waiting on this board or the other Socket 939 Nforce 3 Ultra boards to become available. Giga-Byte suppose to have one available in a week or two. Me I'm an Epox Fan (1 8K7A+, 2 8K3A+, and 2 8RDA+'s). I'll go with a known good company before I go with some company that I've never bought before so if Epox can get it out at around the same time then Bingo I've found my next motherboard.
