Introduction
I've been wanting a DDR motherboard ever since
my last DDR test system went back to AMD. This new Epox DDR socket A motherboard
promises a lot, using an AMD 761 Northbridge, Via 686B Southbridge and
incorporating a Highpoint RAID controller, along with full FSB and multiplier
adjustment, it offers all the features I look for in a motherboard. It's not blue this time, but has a bright green
PCB. The layout is fairly standard, including 6 PCI slots no ISA's on this
board, and 1 AGP slot. The only notable feature about the layout is the ATX
power connector, its placed vertically near the RAM slots, it just looks a bit
different but doesn't affect fitting the components in anyway. On the bottom corner of the board there is a 2 digit LED display, this displays
an output during POST to try and help in problem solving during initial setup
bootup. This is a helpful feature but one that I thankfully didn't use. Well
with the brief introduction over with lets see what it looks like.
