1 Jetway s940 mboard ( M2GT6-PTD ) is unstable & has design flaws
http://www.jetway.com.tw/jetway/syst...me=M2GT6%2DPTD
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. And sometimes people don't know micro ATX from ATX.:-) I just replaced a Jetway S755MAX board. Not because it was bad. Just because I went to an AM2 X2 CPU. The Jetway board was one of the best I'd ever had. It had been running 24/7 since march of 2004, aand with all 5 PCI filled for the Last 8 months. Never a problem. And when the so called experts (Tom, Anand, etc.) couldn't get the FSB up to 233MHz on any early K8 boards, it only took me about 1 minute to do it with the bottom of the barrel board I had.:-) Oh, and my other 2 systems here at home have ECS boards.:-) No problems out of them either. can't really recall ever having major MB problems with any board I've used. But I've only built several hundred systems. I'm sure that doesn't really mean anything. Will a corvette out run a VW? not if there's a 2 year old behind the wheel of the vette.:-) -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

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. "Paul" wrote in message ...
