[May 27, 2004, Taipei]—EPoX, one of the world's foremost manufacturers of motherboards, barebone, communication devices, and industrial PC motherboards, has announced the release of its first 939-based motherboard, EP-9NDA+. Incorporating nVidia nForce3 Ultra, EP-9NDA+ provide performance enhancements for AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems.

 Fully-loaded with the most cutting edge technology, EP-9NDA+ supports 2GHz Hyper Transport technology providing up to 8.0GB/s of system bandwidth. It also features four memory DIMM sockets that can accommodate ultra-fast DDR memory (6.4GB/s of memory bandwidth) modules and a dual-channel processor and memory, eliminating an all-too-common obstacle to attaining top system speed.

On the storage front, the EP-9NDA+ also shines. It provides two P-ATA ports compliant with the ATA-133 specification, as well as four S-ATA ports delivering 150Mbps throughputs. Moreover, the new board offers comprehensive and easy-to-use RAID capabilities, with support for RAID 0, 1,10,and 5. In fact, the I/O features provided by the EP-9NDA+ motherboard make it deliver tomorrow's capabilities today.
The mighty motherboard also provides one AGP 8x slot and six PCI slots. Moreover, it comes with Gigabit Ethernet networking on-board, as well as 8-channel audio.
