JUNK

AOpen AX4SG-UN Socket 478 Intel 865G ATX Intel Motherboard
AOpen AX4SG-UN Socket 478 Intel 865G ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: NONE!!!

Cons: I owned 3 of these. All failed the same way, north bridge chip ran hot no matter how many fans I had in the case. Computer sounded like I was standing a foot in front of an airplane prop running full bore. 1st two worked good for about 4 months. 3rd board I put a fan on the north bridge chip heatsink. That board ran a few months longer than the other two but still met the same fate.

Overall Review: I'm glad Aopen got out of the motherboard business or they would still be selling junk.

Pros: It's been a good calculator considering I found it on the ground about 10+ years ago while I was on vacation in Tucson, AZ. Still has original battery. Solar cell must keep battery topped off as well.

Cons: Didn't come with beer.

Overall Review: Would have been better with beer.
