Yet another quick mobo comparison: Epox 8KHA+ vs Shuttle AK35GTR - 8KHA+ wins

[Jeff7]

I have both right now thanks to a recent computer purchase. Is either board significantly faster than the other, or are they basically dead-heat competitors?

 

[Buz2b]

Cute trick. Got any others?

 

[Jeff7]

Huh??

I think he thought that if you clicked on the link, you would get some information on some benchmarks you did between the 2 motherboards, instead of going right back to the same thread.

That's what I thought would happen, anyway.

If it is a sincere question, I don't have first hand experience, but reviews I have read would lead me to believe they are so close in performance as to be indiscernible.

 

[Jeff7]

Oh. That link is in my Profile - that way the thread gets wider "exposure" on the forums. I've seen others do it, and it seems like a good idea.

Yeah, they're both based on the same chipset. I'm leaning to the Epox board now - looks like it has better FSB overclockability, and that onboard POST thing is just cool. Figured I'd get other opinions first though.

 

[Athlon4all]

Hmmmm. Tough choice. The AK35GTR has much better features, and does ahve decent ocing too, but the 8KHA+ may have been the best ocing KT266A board except for the KR7A-RAID.

8KHA+ is the best KT266A board ever made.....IMO.

I've got two running FSB speeds of 170mhz+ without a hitch....





Oh, and I'd take an Epox over any Abit in a hearbeat...but that's just me..

Using Epox 8KHA+ as I type & yes it`s rock stable and an excellent board,as for Abit well I`ve used them in the pass but do prefer Epox anytime so I agree with Insane3D for a change .

 

[crapito]

Epox 8KHA+ also gets my vote. I've had 2 and liked 'em better than my earlier Shuttle KT266 motherboard, for more reasons than just the semi-obvious (KT266a vs KT266).

 

[Jeff7]

Ok, looks like the Epoxboard wins. Time for renovations.

so I agree with Insane3D for a change

Now that is funny! LOL!
