Great Budget Buy

JetWay JBI-600-LF LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
JetWay JBI-600-LF LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Bought this board when it was on sale, free shipping and 10% discount promotion. I like these features: 6 SATA, 2 eSATA, 2 RJ-45, SPDIF-OUT, PWR Reset/On and CMOS Reset buttons. The 2nd CMOS reset button on the back panel helps a lot during the OC setting. OC is not great but is acceptable. I was able to reach 3.4 GHz and stable with 12 gig/1333, cpu/1.35V and VDIMM/1.65. No problem with Vista Ultimate, Win 7 RC1, W2K8 Server and CentOS 5.3. All 64-bit OS. Both RAID 0 and 1 work well

Cons: HW monitor util MyGuard and LAN driver won't work on Win 7 RC1, but not my concern at this moment. JMicron driver for IDE is a bit slower. Therefore get a SATA DVD drive if possible. ATI cross file is supported, but not for nVidia SLI supported.

Overall Review: To get installation and setup ASAP, I always use only 1 stick (2 GB) and the defualt settings. OC is proceeded only after OS and the drivers are installed. i7 920 COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520 OCZ XMP DDR3 1600 HIS Radeon 4679 IceQ Turbo 512 Antec Earthwatts EA500 500W Antec Sonata Designer 500

CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5

Pros: Cheap and works great for one week

Cons: One of two units failed after running one week. Since I submited the rebate form before it failed, I have to deal with Corsair support for RMA.

Pros: Got 12 gig from the local store because of some negative reviews and competitive price. However, they worked great with ASUS P6T. Were overclocked to 1560 without changing the voltage (1.5v). I7 920 was running on 3.9GHz.

Cons: None so far
