As I read over here, EPoX announced a new mainboard on the fresh VIA KT400 chipset. The new solution is called EP-8K9A3+.

The specifications of the newcomer look as follows:

Supports Socket A Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron processors;
VIA KT400 chipset with VT8235 South Bridge;
4 DIMM slots for up to 4GB DDR266/DDR333 SDRAM;
6 PCI and 1 AGP 8x slot;
4-channel integrated ATA/133 RAID controller (HPT374);
10/100Mbit Ethernet (VIA VT6103);
6 USB 2.0 ports;
60-channel Realtek ALC650 sound controller supporting digital SPDIF Out;
Supports overclocking friendly features such as FSB frequency, Vcore and Vmem adjustment;
Onboard POST controller.

The new solution will start selling in mass in the end of September and is expected to cost around $130. <%BANNER[article]%>

Also I would like to stress that EPoX made no announcements about the implementation of DDR400 support in its new EP-8K9A3+.
