As I recall, the big difference is the RAID controller. But I could be
wrong.

Yes, you are wrong. All both Boards are with a RAID controller.
I have searched on the EPOX-Site.
I think the difference is very small, I can't find it.

8KTA3 is a non-RAID board. 8KTA3+ is a RAID board.

8KTA3PRO is a non-RAID board (I have one). 8KTA3+PRO is a RAID board.

Both the "PROs" were more overclocking friendly boards. The most
notable difference is that the PROs have jumpers that allow voltage
tweaking (sort of like a factory voltage mod). In addition to being
able to set VCore to 1.85 volt in BIOS Setup you can also
incrementally increase the voltage an additional +0.1v, +0.2v, +0.3v,
or +0.4v. These options allow a maximum VCore of 2.25 volts which I
believe was the highest for any production Socket A motherboard.

Other overclocking friendly features of the PRO boards are BIOS
selectable multipliers, bus speed in 1 mhz increments (theoretically
up to 180 Mhz but in practice the VIA KT133A's northbridge was good to
150 to 160 Mhz), AGP voltage tweaking from 1.5 v (standard) to 2.0
volt in 0.05v increments, I/O voltage tweaking (chipset, SDRAM, etc)
from 3.4v (3.3v is standard) to 3.9V in 0.05V increments.

I never owned an 8KTA3 nor an 8KTA3+ so I don't know which of the
above features they had or lacked, except I know they couldn't set max
VCore to 2.25 volts.

Hi

The main differences below

Jumpered
VIA Apollo KT133A Socket A with audio (EP-8KTA3)
VIA Apollo KT133A Socket A with audio + RAID (EP-8KTA3+)

Jumperless (FSB set in BIOS only)
VIA Apollo KT133A with audio + RAID (EP-8KTA3+PRO)
VIA Apollo KT133A Socket A with audio (EP-8KTA3PRO)
