EPOX - says it all in the name

EPoX EP-MF4ULTRA-3 AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
EPoX EP-MF4ULTRA-3 AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Id have to say im an EPOX fan. This is my personal 2nd EPOX board. I've installed 5 for friends, and the options and performance of the MB has never tempted me to try another MB brand. If your not sure what MB to buy... get an EPOX.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: You should have stopped reading and clicked "add to cart" already... quit wasting your own time :)

Pros: Its been i while since ive bought a new tower so this feature might be inherent on all of the towers now; but not having to use any screws to mount the HD or the CD rom drives was great. Also the case allows for great air flow.

Cons: Power supply could be a little larger, especially with the newer video cards requireing 2 4pin connections.

Overall Review: For the price you might as well pay a little extra and get an alluminum case... the light weight construction is nice.

Pros: Its definitly fast and quiet like listed i was sceptikal at first but, it is very silent. Ah the sata cable is GREAT no more annoyingly long IDE cable (unless you have the round ones).

Cons: Probablly the Size... i however bought 2. To compensate i like having a back up at all times, one for storage and one to format when i feel its neccecary.

Overall Review: Id love to say its fast as all hell. and it sure does feel like it, but i also upgraded from single to dual core, and from 333 Ram to 800 Ram. So my whole PC is faster and its too hard to say with confidence that the hard drive is a factor. All in all my PC is fast as hell so the HD can keep up with that, its a good sign.

Wait for the new line

Pros: Card works great plays WOW, and CSS on high settings flawlessly. Definitely an upgrade and at the asking price its a nice card to tide you over till the new gen. come out.

Cons: With nVidia perparing for the new line of directX 10 cards they have failed to release any good set of drivers. I had to download about 8 different ones after 2hrs of looking through forums to find what would work best. If you are savy enough to do the search the card will work great for you.

Overall Review: If i would have known nVida had stopped supporting the 7 series i would have went with ATI, they never stop making better faster drivers.
