Spec Sheet

Yeah, yeah, I know... this is the dry part but we simply have to have an overall spec sheet to show what the feature set of this particular motherboard looks like. It doesn't do us a bit of good to talk about a mainboard without knowing up front what it is supposed to be capable of. So sit back just a moment and I'll make this as painless as possible.

For those with a keen eye, you'll notice that this is nothing more than a copy/paste from the EPoX website. This is just a features list so I'll let their PR guys take the credit for this.
