Hitting 200MHz FSB on the first generation on nForce2 boards was pretty much a hit and miss affair. However, now that AMD will officially be supporting a 200MHz FSB for the Athlon and with a little more refinement on the nForce2 chipset, all boards should reach 200MHz FSB out of the box. Today, we take a look at Epox’s offering based on this fine-tuned nForce2 chipset- the 8RDA3+
