The 4PDA5+ Motherboard of Epox is a well built mobo. it has a wide ranged of features, from handy POST LED that will let the user know what the problem component is. It can support legacy hard drives as well as new sata hard drives. It also has a 8x AGP slot, where we can put 6600GT video cards to utilize this boards potential. It also has a unified system diagnostics manager, wherein the user can monitor fan speeds (3) temperature fro both motherboard and processor, and voltage readings of nearly all components plugged-in the motherboard. The 4PDA5+ has also overclocking potentials..aside from sporting enough usb ports to host a number of usb products it already has a gigabit LAN port. Well enough of this goodies, i do have a warning when buying this mobo, your power supply should have a high capacity and should, and I must stress should provide clean power. the mobo sometimes becomes unstable when your power supply cannot address the power consumption needs of the mobo, so as a default, your power supply should be rate at 385 watts or more, it also depends on the number of components you are planning to plug in the mobo. and another thing, if you're thinking of overclocking the processor don't forget that the higher the overclock the hotter it gets, but another goody for this mobo is that it does not heat too much.. you can run your PC 24/7 and just watch your temperature monitor just hover around 43 degrees to 49 degrees celcius. my PC is a P4 2.4ghz and it runs at 2.5ghz (not too much overclocking, i don't have cool processor coolers) and it runs nearly 24 hours a day, and it would stay cool for most of the day. as a conclusion this mobo is a best buy....just buy a higher capacity power supply to tandem with..
