Is the 8RDA still the top baord to get, is there another Epox above that yet? I havnet been here for a while.

Is the 8RDA still the top baord to get, is there another Epox above that yet? I havnet been here for a while.
i guess it is, until the 8RDA3+.
what i'd like to know is what is the deal with the 8RGA+. is that supposed to be better than both, or not as good as the RDA3+, or what? it seems weird to put out an RDA3+ when they already have an RGA+ (or have it on the way if it's not out yet). won't the RDA3+ have this northbridge voltage mod they're talking about, and if so, what's the point of the RGA+? (or what's the point of the RDA3+, depending on how you look at it ;) ).

random site:
"Speak to anyone that ["who" ;) ] is serious about overclocking their AMD processor and they will generally advise you to start with an EPoX 8RDA+. Most of the 8RDA boards from EPoX were hitting 200MHz FSB. As the 8RDA+ automatically unlocks the processor’s multiplier and DDR 3500 ram has become readily available people soon worked out that higher FSB speeds were only being blocked by the ability of the Northbridge. Some bright spark decided to produce a voltage modification for the Northbridge and suddenly we saw that FSB speeds of 220 MHz + were common place. Modifying the voltage on a motherboard is not done without significant risk however, as many people have also found to their cost. That’s where the new EPOX 8RGA+ comes in, because not only does it have on board graphics, it also features the latest Northbridge revision and bios controlled Northbridge voltage control. Now let the FSB wars begin."

the point of the 8RGA is the onboard graphics
