Epox 8RDA3+ Availability?? When will it be out?

[Lysimachus]

According to Epox's website, the new 8RDA3+ is out. But what retailers are selling it? Newegg does not carry it as of yet, nor any of the other primary vendor sites.

My Epox 8RDA+ has been behaving so bad it's not funny. MY USB ports have not been detecting my mouse correct. (even with SP1 on my WinXP Pro, latest BIOS, and MS nForce 2 unified drivers). Mouse does not detect on reboot nor bootup. ONce in a blue moon will it detect. I have to unplug and plug the mouse in order for it to detect EVERYTIME!. But once I reboot or shutdown, POOF! Back to square one. No mouse detected.

My Epox 8RDA+ does not like Zip Drive 250 ATAPI's either.

I just hope this new Epox 8RDA3+ does not come with all these defects.

I'm having some USB related problems as well, my mouse sometimes just disconnects and i have to plug it in again in another plug to get it to work...and it doesn't like my CDRW drive either.

The USB ports also dont detect but all of the mobo ones work fine :shrug:

is hte 8rda3+ a revision of this board? Would it be worth it to get it if you already have an 8rda?

Same here ... and I thought I was the only one

The 8RDA3+ has a 400Mhz FSB, not 333. Plus a bunch of additional features...and I'm sure some tweaks have been made regarding the bios/drivers, etc. At least, that's what I'm putting my money down on...

Look at these links below:

Epox 8RDA3+ New!


So you guys are having USB problems as well, eh? But are you having USB problems on the 8RDA+ or another board? If you are having USB problems as well on the 8RDA+, then that will confirm my reason even more for sending it back.

Yeah i'm having the USB problems on my 8rda+. It's not really that bad, but it just seems odd that the USB is so faulty on this board with so many people.

That 8rda3+ looks like a deluxe version of the 8rda+, Hopefully it'd fix some of the problems...I don't know if its worth returning an 8rda+ for this one though, it'd probably be around 50-60$ more expensive too.
