Pros: Stable at stock speeds, overclocks well, plenty of room for expansion/future upgrades
Cons: Rev 1.1 and earlier may have stability issues when running 200mhz FSB.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for those who build their own systems, who like to tweak and those looking for future upgrade headroom.

| bigblue63's Full Review: EPoX EP-8RDA Motherboard |
I have had this board for a few months and have had the opportunity to test nearly every aspect of it. It has 6 PCI slots, an 8x AGP slot, 3 DDR memory slots, on-board sound, and 4 2.0 USB slots, with 2 extra on the motherboard. The motherboard has an on-board diagnostic LED and a flashable BIOS. This is the "non-plus" version. It accepts nearly any Socket A AMD processor. This is a popular nForce2 motherboard that overclocks well. The only problem found is when running 200mhz FSB, the board will not run 3d games/applications due to a minor motherboard hardware discrepancy. This is otherwise a fantastic motherboard. Any revision of this motherboard above 1.1 (which you would get if you were to buy this board today) will have those issues resolved.
