Neoseeker has posted a review on the Epox 8KTA3 Socket A motherboard.



The 8KTA3 definitely fills some gaps left by the 8KTA2 that we reviewed a few months ago.

The overclocking features are much improved over the 8KTA2 although they aren't perfect. There is a fairly wide range of FSB speeds between 100MHz and 133MHz, although having 1Mhz increments is preferred. The range of speeds above 133MHz is definitely lacking which will limit the amount of overclocking that can be done with the 133MHz (DDR) Athlon CPUs (although these CPUs have yet to saturate the market in quantity). In the 8KTA3's favour, these FSB settings are configured in the BIOS which is much more convenient than DIP switches or jumpers.
