EP-9NPA+ Ultra
EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra is the first NVIDIA
based K8 PCI-E solution from EPoX. This mainboard based on the new NF4 Ultra
chipset supports the Socket 939 Athlon 64 processors. Some of the most
interesting features on board includes the native support of 2 IDE ports that
can form a RAID array with the SATA II ports offering 300MBps. This board
supports a Gigabit Ethernet port and it comes with an embedded Firewall with
Active Armour. Other goodies include 10 USB port support and 8 channel audio.
There are abundant overclocking
features built onboard in the PowerBIOS. They include ram timing adjustments,
voltage adjustments (vdimm up to 3.1v, Vcore). FSB up to 400MHz, Maxmemclk etc.
