Just a follow up from my previous post re: bad experience with bios KRA23A28
for Ep-8KRA2+.
I e-mailed every Epox office with my problem and got a reply from only 1
office - HQ in Taiwan. They sent me a new bios KRA23C01 (12/01/2003) and all

whilst shelling out for xmas i ncluded a few new items for yours trully.
i bought a new XP2500+, a 2nd hand Ep-8kra2, a chieftec full tower case (6 x
5 1/4" bays), 512 of Kingston Value DDR400 and a TT volcano9.

After I flash the bios could someone help me with the bios settings??  I
built this PC about 2 years ago and just kept everything at the defaults.
I'd like to have the settings at the optimum for gaming.  My system is as

Epox recommended to flash BIOS on 8KTA+ after upgrade to 1.3 Duron.
The flash failed. Epox UK NEVER replied to emails again.
Had to buy new BIOS from www.biosflashuk.com . Fast service with real
people on end of phone. If U need reprogrammes or new BIOS (in the UK)

I have the 8KHA+ mb running win98 and want to flash the bios.  Been having

I have been thinking of upgrading the AMD 1600 Xp on my 8kha+ board.

core and the Thorton core mentioned.  It looks like the Thorton core

Does anyone know if Epox or any other manufacturer make a Micro ATX
motherboard with SATA support but NO RAID?

I've been trying for two days now to d/l  the newest bios from my

I have Upgraded my Epox 8KHA+ with a TBred 2600(333) and InfineonRam(333).
