Most Favorable Review

Pretty good first revision!

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 1.9 GHz Socket AM2 Processor - ADO3600IAA5DL
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 1.9 GHz Socket AM2 Processor - ADO3600IAA5DL

Pros: I bought this combo (w TForce 550) because I saw some reviews & the price was right. This chip's a little beast, I've got the combo running stable (prime 16 hrs) @ 3106 (9.5,x326 @ 533 htt 3x) on air! At this speed Sandra & Everest benches put its performance between a c2d e66/6700, not bad.

Cons: Needs volts (nothing crazy) to get up there, make sure you have good cooling (using Scythe SCMN-1000).

Overall Review: Tip: To get mobo to work over 260/270 turn on integrated memtest,set FSB in mid 200's and work up by 10 & test until you get where you want. When there, turn off memtest and boot.

Sweet!!

Pros: Took a chance on this for my gaming system and I'm really pleased. Great display for the price. No bad pixels or useless speakers, good color, vesa mounting holes, and no goshting at all! (I just finished a session of X3 at native resolution w my X800 GTO)

Cons: Text is not quite as sharp as my Viewsonic 20" WS but what do you expect it only has a DSUB.

Overall Review: Go Fedex, recieved it the next day!

Nice cheap board

Pros: Good cheap OC Ability! Have used this board with an AMD 3200+ (Newcastle) oc'd to 2500 MHz on WIN XP Pro, and am currently using it in a file/print server running Linux 2.6.14 w AMD Sempron 2800+ (E6) @ 2400MHz - FSB 300, Mem @ 240 - Winbond BH5 @ 3.2v Divider @ 166, cant wait to try w AMD64 3000+ Venice.

Cons: None yet worked great right out of the box. Make sure you've updated to the latest bios!

Comments: Good mobo. The detailed specs are wrong. This mobo has an integrated X300 just without the 32MB's of hypermemory on the pro version. Mobo also includes a TV-out bracket w comp/s-video but no sp-diff header. If you want to overclock go to jetway site and update with the 2.0 version of the a200GDMSpro bios. I'm currently running :a64 3000 (newcaslte) @ 2.4Ghz (240x10/mem ratio 166) w stock cooler @ 40C. Newegg/Fedex 2 bus days sweet!

Comments: Good board. Detailed specs are wrong, this board does feature integrated x300 just without the 32mb hypermemory mem as in the pro version. Board comes with comp/s-video (tv-out) header but no sp-diff header. Go to Jetway site and download 2.0 version of pro bios if you want to overclock (cpu 1.4-1.55v,mem 2.6-2.85v,chipset 1.8./1.9, HT 800/1000, mem ratios 100/133/166/200, fsb 200-300 by 1). Currently running 3200 a64 newcastle @ 2.4Ghz (10x240, dram @ 166 ratio HT 800) stable. As always Newegg/FedEx excellent.
