Again, the performance is basically the same.

This benchmark seems to be the only one that reveals any differences at all, with the D3VA performing about 20% - 30% better in all of the memory tests. This won’t greatly affect everyday usage of the 3VCA2+, but it will cause the board to perform noticeably slower during memory intensive operations.

Conclusion

The Epox 3VCA2+ is a solid motherboard. It is designed to save the consumer money, while still offering some pretty good overclocking capabilities. For savvy consumers it’s onboard audio, lack of fancy features, and support for older CPUs (and Cyrix CPUs) will help reduce the hit to the pocket book. For overclockers the 1Mhz FSB adjustments and the ability to configure core voltage settings as well as the DRAM speed are more attractive features. These, combined with great stability and support for ATA100 and 4x AGP, make the 3VCA2+ quite appealing.

So if you are looking to save a few dollars, but still want the ability to overclock, the 3VCA2+ is a great buy.
