Digital-Daily explores the Intel D925XCV motherboard review. Based on the faster 925X Express chipset, that motherboard oozes quality but like most Intel motherboard is geared towards no-frill, brand-conscious customer, more than anything else. In contrast, the other product tested at the same website is the Epox 5EPA+ which is based on the i915P and supports DDR rather than DDR2. This board provides much more for a cheaper price like 8-channel audio, Gigabyte LAN etc. Reliable, Cheap and cheerful. Hopefully Intel will follow suit soon.
Another Epox product under review is the 9NDA3+ based on the 939-pin, nForce 3 Ultra chipset. The review, from Tweaktown, carries load of benchmarks and shows that the nForce 3 Ultra in this Epox solution still have a lot of life ahead of it.
