Default 1 Jetway s940 mboard ( M2GT6-PTD ) is unstable & has design flaws

remember AMD was once considered "bottom of the barrel"...

most of todays top hardware manufacturers were at some point the "bottom of
the barrel"

if it does whats it is supposed to do its fine with me if its cheap even
better.

1 mounting hole is in a wrong place ( cannot align with casing's
mounting point ), 2 holes are missing so 2 of casing's mounting points
( 1 can touch or spark with 1 IDE socket's pins below mboard ) can
short circuit mboard ! Bios under reports cpu temperature. North &
south bridges are damn hot & have no fan, & no stabler with fan cooling.
I tried 3 units of this mboard, all are bad. Don't let this mboard
waste
your time / energy / petrol / electricity ( like it wasted mine ).
As comparison, another model

http://www.jetway.com.tw/jetway/syst...me=M2GT4%2DSOG
is perfectly stable & flawless, when used with the same cpu + dimms
+ psu.+ casing + keyboard + mouse + monitor + avr.
Are other brands' with nVidia GeForce 6100 *north bridge stable ? I
decided not to try them ; I suspect this * is unstable. Does any1 here
use * ?


Note that sometimes Jetway products have "Machspeed" product branding.
Jetway is the bottom of the barrel. Stay far away.
