Soyo Dragon+

[Burner27]

Forgive my newbie-ness if this question has been asked before, but--

I have an Epox 8KHA+ mobo and a GF4 ti 4600. The capacitors on the GF4 and a capacitor on the 8KHA+ touch and i need to get another Mobo. I was condsidering a Soyo Dragon+ and i was wondering if anyone had an opinions or first hand experience with this board.

Also--when will the mobos with the KT333 chipset be available?

Thanks.

Well i have looked at a pic, it appears the area is clear! it does NOT however state, that i could find anyway, whether it is AGP 2.0 compatible, so its probably best to email them to find out.

Dont scrap your epox just yet.

Apparantly the MSI geforce4 will fit just fine.

Or you can move the capacitor out of the way with the soldering iron.
