VIA's new generation chipset KT400 provides lightning fast access to system memory and delivers more performance by supporting DDR200/266/333 SDRAM memory and a full range of 200/266MHz Processor Bus AMD Athlon XP and AMD Duron processors. Most importantly, KT400 is connected to the VIA VT8235 South Bridge by an enhanced 8X V-Link connection transferring data at 533MB/s, four times the speed of the conventional PCI bus. It enables a more balance system configuration and breaks through the performance bottleneck. EPoX has very high reputation in Socket A platform. Following the success of it KT333 motherboard, EP-8K3A+, EPoX launches its KT400 based product, EP-8K9A series. In this series, EPoX focus in 2 models: EP-8K9A2+ and EP-8K9A3+. EP-8K9A2+ features 6 PCI slots, 1 AGP 8X slot, and 4 DDR DIMM for PC2700 Memory DRAM sized 64MB to 4GB. As EPoX always focus on high-end market, there are new connection interfaces are built in. By the south bridge 8235 it supports 6 USB2.0 connectors. It's also built with Serial ATA by Silicon Image Sil3112a chip to support up to two Serial ATA devices. The peak bandwidth of it is 150MB/sec (1.5Gbps serial transfer). The Integrate 10/100Mb fast Ethernet controller, VIA 6103, supports LAN function by RJ-45 connector. It's also built with HPT372 chipset for Ultra DMA-133 and IDE RAID (0, 1, 0+1) x 2 (Up to 4 Devices). This model has a strong overclockability. The CPU Vcore and clock can also be adjustable by BIOS with the maximum range, same as the voltage of AGP and memory. Besides, to protect the system from any damage caused by overclocking, Magic Health, EpoX's exclusive innovation is also standby. Users can monitor the system status while boot-up the system. The useful on board debug device iV Post port also helps users to correct the installation error by the code showed on the 2 LED.
