Most recently, we reviewed the motherboard Epox 8NPA SLI chipset combination with NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI connector and Socket754. Confess honestly, this option seems highly questionable, because the decision SLI-based systems is far from the budget, and combine them with cheap Sempron processors, pozitsioniruemye for entry-level PCs, well, ridiculous. However, we will rightly corrected that in the market there and Athlon 64 in the 754 - contact the hull, and on recent reports of analysts in Russia and it will be possible to buy new processors performed on 0.09 micron those. Process kernels Venice (DFI happy promising good acceleration).

But unfortunately, the supply of such exotics will be severely constrained by AMD, subtly hinting us that the Athlon 64 has long been "moved" by Socket939. On the other hand, boards Epox 8NPA SLI does have advantages. The fee is built on the masthead and NVIDIA chipset, in addition to the notorious SLI technology, and provides the user with other benefits - hardware support Firewall, SerialATA II, etc. If you remember, before the commencement date of Epox product, the maximum that could be found in stores, this link "clipped" NVIDIA nForce 4-4X and S754.But, deep convictions author of these lines, the combination of even the cheaper SLI-kit in the form of two GeForce 6600 GT and the single-processor Sempron or Athlon 64 (which is now the day with fire is not replicated) is a complete absurdity.

Therefore, the company issued another Epox exactly the same charge, but with minor adjustments - the number of holes in the nest processor has been increased to 939, a memory subsystem peredelena under the dual mode. Title fees also podkorrektirovali, and after renaming the new ultrabyudzhetnoe "solution received the name Epox 9NPAJ SLI.

Fair, it should be noted that this is not the only fee on Epox chipset NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI in conjunction with the Socket939. In addition to J-option, there is also a model with indexes "I" and "+". How can guess, in the first case - the easiest option (of our 9NPAJ fee is the lack of active cooling MOSFET), as for the models with the advantage, it is all the other way around - the possibility of expanded with additional SATA-RAID controllers, and so IEEE1394b e.
