EPoX EP-9NDA3J 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: great mobo with plenty of slots for additional cards, handles 800xl very well

Cons: none right now

Pros: Overclocks well and it's very stable. Audio works great too.

Cons: two of the four onboard usb ports are a bit flakey in gentoo but 2 outta 4 is acceptable.

Other Thoughts: works good enough that I would buy another if I ever have the need.

Pros: Socket 939 AGP board with Nvidia Chipset.

Cons: Could not manage to install windows with this board system would halt with black screen and no HD activity at all after format and initial copying of files to install windows.I assume either board was defective or even worse that it has a memory compatibility problem with my Corsair XMS memory.In any case Im wondering what happen to Epox?I used their boards in past and never had problems and they were great overclockers.Looks like they screwed up with the 9NDA3 series...
Ohh well,I RMAed the board for a refund and ordered an Asus A8V no problems since.

Pros: Specifications look like it would have been a really decent MB...if it wasn't DOA. Quality control is apparently not one of Epox's strong suits. Was impossible to contact anyone at Epox for assistance.

Cons: Motherboard was DOA...Upgraded to an Abit AV8...but had to pay a restocking fees for the privilage.

Other Thoughts: Would have actually saved money buying from a local store, if you add the restocking fee, return shipping fee, shipping fee for new MB, and all the hassle.

Pros: nForce3 Ultra is, in my opinion, the most stable yet versatile chipset for s939. nForce4 is just too buggy for me, plus this board lets me keep that 9800XT. This and the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum are the boards to get if you're sticking it out with AGP, IMO

Cons: No PCI express slots, but the only board that has true PCI express and AGP slots is the ASRock 939Dual, which I am about to dump after 2 days of use. I'll take stability over versatility any day.

Other Thoughts: For the people having problems with Audigy or SB Live cards, DO NOT PUT THE CARD IN THE FIRST OR LAST PCI SLOT, ON THIS BOARD OR ANY OTHER BOARD. This has been a well-known issue with the Live and Audigy line, long before the original Audigy was even on the market. The first and last PCI slots will most likely cause an IRQ conflict, which is why the guy was having problems, so just stay away from those 2 slots and you will be just fine with this board (or any other) and a SB Audigy/Live series card.

Pros: Inexpensive somewhat.

Cons: The board posted fine, but would not boot the SATA hard drive during Windows installation. Tried three different SATA drivers and flashed the BIOS as well to no avail. I even tried an IDE drive I had and it wouldn't boot that drive either. All it did was just sit there with a blank screen. I have never had this much trouble out of a board before and I will never buy another Epox board.

Pros: I bought this board after going through two other different brand boards and both had major issues. This Epox board ran great like it's supposed to.

Cons: None that I can see except it's upgradeability will be limited just because it's an AGP board.

Other Thoughts: This was my first try with an Epox board but it won't be my last!!

Pros: I got this in combo with an athlon64 3000. I have to say I can't find one thing bad with this board. It is stable, has plenty of features and performs way better than any other board I've had.

Cons: None really. It's not PCI-E, that's it.

Other Thoughts: For 85.50, it's worth every penny.

Pros: Good Price, works fine, no problems yet

Cons: Shipping.......took way too long

Other Thoughts: This was one of the last 939 nforce 3 mobo's that newegg had.
Good buy

Pros: Really easy set up with RAIDO controller, cool led that shows temp of cpu while running, no problems on arrival

Cons: Like the other guy said, it is impossible to get a hold of anyone in tech support, the website tech support is awful. I just had a question about the raid0 which I found out myself, but got absolutely no help from tech support there.

Other Thoughts: Great board, this is my second build, and everything worked great right out of the box, I loved having the gameport so I didn't have to use an old soundcard.
