Epox 8RGA+ review

The nVidia nForce 2 IGP board from Epox gets reviewed by the dudes over at T-Break.

The 8RGA+ proved to be an extremely solid board in our tests. It did not fail even once as far as testing was conducted at stock speeds. We had the board up and running for over 24 hours without any crashes. Even at overclocked speeds, the board performed quite stably. We feel that EpoxÂ’s decision to include the 12V power connector is a good one as it provides more stability.

Epox is notible for overclocking, so you might wanna consider this one if that's your bag. Review
 
Let's take two boards : Epox 8RDA+ and 8RGA+ (which is the exact same thing, but with integrated video, right ?)

Will the 8RGA+ be less performant than the 8RDA+ when the onboard video is disabled ?
Assuming both are configured the exact same way, obviously.
 
With the onboard video disabled, the two boards will be alike in performance. If you were to use the onboard video on the 8RGA+ and use a GeForce 4 MX 440 with the 8RDA+, the 8RDA+ would be better in gaming benchmarks.
