Difference between 8rga and 8rga+

Hi im thinking of getting one of these, i was wondering if there is any difference besides firewall and onboard lan? Thanks.

none.. the + is simply a 'deluxe' version of the non-plus.. i.e. it has some extra features..

Same thing with 8rda/8rda+ the things that differs are firewire and lan..

On older boards, the "+" also made a difference on which CPUs were supported. That is, the "+" boards supported newer CPUs that the non "+" boards would not. Double check the EPOX supported CPUs list carefully before you match up a board and a processor. It would PO you to the max not to be able to run the CPU you had in mind.

NO Nvidia sound on the 8RGA+?

Yikes.

8RGA has MCP southbridge without lan (it is here, but disabled) and AC97 2ch audio. 8RGA+ has MCP-T southbridge with NVIDIA audio (5.1 sound), one lan and two firewire ports.

Good catch Josi...All I did was copy and paste the info right from Epox...didn't catch that they listed both of them with 6-channel full-duplex integrated sound...I can honestly put the blame on the Epox site and not my typing...lol...
