"Epox have been in the PC motherboard and communications business for around 10 years now and was established in February of 1995. Victoria Chin from Epox Taiwan contact us a couple weeks ago asking if we would like to review one of their Intel 440bx chipset motherboards, we of course said sure. The Intel 440bx motherboard we are reviewing today is the EP-BX7+100 offering a 100MHz Bus Clock, supporting a single Socket 370 (FC-PGA370) Pentium III processor. This motherboard has a host of good features, one which really stands out is the HPT370 IDE-RAID controller which supports RAID 0, 1 and 0+1. As the name of the motherboard suggests, the board also has support for ATA100 for 100mb/s file transfer rates on ATA100 enabled hard disk drives. Epox have chosen to use a 1 AGP / 6 PCI and 1 ISA format, I think this is good as many PC users still use ISA modems and sound cards. Epox have included four DIMM slots which support pc100 memory up to 1GB in total. One thing which should also be mentioned is the large size of this motherboard, it is the biggest (305mm x 240mm) BX motherboard I have seen and used ever."
