Would any owners of the EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra, recommend this board .. or to
stay away from it?

I'm thinking of buying the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 or DFI 4 Ultra D or the
EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra.

The DFI is highly rated by reviewers and enthusiasts .. but it just looks
like it could be a headache to tweak it this way and that.it seems like a
lot of work and not fun to me.

The computer would be used as a gaming machine and surfing and word
processing.

Thanks

I own the Epox 9NPA+ Ultra and would recommend it. It is stable and well
built. I paired with a AMD Venice 64 3000 and it works perfectly. See
the reviews and feature set and price.

OK, in a thread requesting info on the 9NPA+ Ultra, you said the purchaser
would be sorry if he purchased the 9NPA+. Now you say you own the Ultra
version of this board, that you recommend it. Elaborate pleasee????

Don't you think it was a typo? He probably meant to write "you will NOT be
sorry."

Yeah, we got that figured out in the other thread. :-)

I love this board. I have had zero problems with it, and performance is excellent. Except that I have a sound problem (see my post), but I doubt it is the board, I dont have it hooked up right.

I have 9npa+ ultra
I don't know about what's different between two products but
All is well with my board but one issue
when I connect a USB2 storage device (JVC digi vid camera w/ 4GB internal minidisk) it failes to copy the vids clips at all. I had to reduce the usb2 speed to usb1.1 otherwise it just freezes. lots of other people having similar USB related problems and it's been going on a long time. Their tech support is hopeless.
On the plus side of things it oclocks like no other, stable than msi boards i had.
