P80P Debug (POST) Card onboard design with LED display EPoX's EP-8K7A+ is designed to be the ultimate Socket A mainboard for home users and gamers designed for AMD Athlon and Duron processors. Engineered using the hybrid combination of the AMD 760 Northbridge and the VIA VT82C686B Southbridge chipsets the EP-8K7A+ is a high quality mainboard built using the ATX format. The EP-8K7A+ also includes courtesy of the VIA southbridge chipset UltraDMA-100 (ATA/100). ATA/100 drives can transfer data up to 100 MB per/second, an increase of more than 50 percent when compared to previous generations of technology. Of course the EP-8K7A+ is fully backward compatible with all IDE/ATAPI devices - including Ultra DMA/ATA 66, 33, EIDE Fast ATA-2, IDE drives and CD ROM drives. The UDMA 100 protocol has broken the longstanding UDMA 33 and 66 standards. With the addition of the HPT370 PCI Dual Channel UltraDMA-100 RAID Controller four more UltraDMA-100 devices can be installed. Just as its name implies, the IDE-RAID HPT370 supports RAID 0, 1 and 0+1. This is ideal for small businesses that need to mirror their servers - striping large capacity >27GB hard disk is a much cheaper solution than SCSI RAID. EPoX mainboards comes fully equipped with latest technical specifications: One 4X AGP bus slot, six PCI master bus slots, two USB ports (two additional supported by an optional USB cable), and keyboard power on feature (KBPO). Wake On LAN (WOL), onboard POST display, support for USDM (Unified System Diagnostic Manager), plus much more!
