A Reasonable Motherboard for Tweakers: EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra
 

There is no shortage of nForce 4 motherboards on the market these days, and most of them have similar features. You can count on almost all nForce 4 Ultra boards having four SATA-II ports with support for many types of RAID, gigabit Ethernet, and some tweaking/tuning options for overclockers. In this respect, the new 9NPA+ Ultra board from EPoX is no different.

So what separates the men from the boys? Price is certainly a factor, but we look carefully at board layout, stability, included software, BIOS options, and other nifty extras like LED error-code readouts and optical audio output. Does EPoX's 9NPA+ Ultra have enough cool features to stand out from the crowd?
