I've been using EPOX for 8 years, and have had the 9NPA+ for just about 3 years now. I went dual core about a year ago (64 X2 3800+) and have it running 24/7 @2900MHz with ZERO issues (water cooled). My 2GB of OCZ Platinum is pushing 241MHz on the bus, also with zero issues. Having finally gone to Vista x64, I see how it totally munches through RAM, and like many others have done searches seeing if the 9NPA+ can handle all 4 sticks with no issues. I just bought another 2GB pair of the same style OCZ Platinum for a fifth of what I paid for it three years ago! A very small investment to make in order to extend the life of the best motherboard/system I ever owned. Not the latest and greatest of course, but I still score 5.9 Windows Experience Index across the board except for CPU which is 5.3. I have no reason to upgrade any time soon with the performance this board puts up... Thank you Epox, and wish you were still in the game...

That should be plenty of RAM to run stuff. My 9NPA+ box is also serving me well. Unless you're unlucky, these things should last a long time. My home "server" is a Dell Optiplex GX200 that I bought about 7 years ago. It still works great as a file server. Sol: That’s great. That should be plenty of RAM to run stuff.

I want to thank you again for your hint and leave a post for all those "Epox 9NPA+ Ultra" + "4GB RAM" - Googlers. Now I'm also at 4GB with my good old 9NPA+ Ultra running Vista 64 and there is no need to upgrade to 775 or AM2 for me left ATM. I will just wait another two years and then will see if I really really neeeed a new computer - if the board not dies in the meantime :-) BTW DDR1 is cheaper then ever! Just bought original Aeneon at 22.- Euro per gig in Europe. That's half the price of two, three months ago. This one is doublesided but runs without any problem in all 4 slot! Ah, and Epox now is Suppox... Me again. I want to thank you again for your hint and leave a post for all those “Epox 9NPA+ Ultra” + “4GB RAM” - Googlers.
