Nothing wrong with it. No memory in that combo and an inferior mother board. Just a personal choice. Sorry to disagree. The Jetway is a (far) superior board albeit the older 780G chipset. I don't mind the 780G but I need the southbridge to be a SB750 so I can have RAID5 (and port multiplier and ACC) support. This model of Jetway is the foundation of their two newer 790GX boards, AM2+ and AM3.

You are probably right. I do have the Biostar board. IIRC, it lets you unlock the 4th core on a triple core. But I am not too deep into boards to comment one way or other and I dont know about SB750. BTW, Biostar is SB750 and Jetway is SB700. Perhaps you like Biostar over Jetway?

I used to like Biostar boards. I heavily promoted their T-force 6100 socket 939 board. But, since 780G and on, I haven't been impressed lately. I think they focused on Intel heavily (better products). Jetway is not easy to handle due to lack of support but the HW is there. It is a 6 layer board, 5+1 phase(s) of processor Power, solid caps ..
Yeah, SB700 is lacking so to overcome that, get a $200? HW RAID card with 4 ports.

5-6. 5 if I use one port for SSD or eSATA as in the case of Jetways. mATX form factor shouldn't limit you in its use.
Please keep this [not official] debate on about which is better. I need to buy a new board+cpu combo in the next 2 weeks (don't even tell me to wait 6 months or whatever, I cant, 2 week is my deadline), and I myself am so outdated on terminology I'm really finding it tough to figure out what's a good deal. Your pointing out of the goods and bads of each deal are really helping me. Thanks!

Good call hzha, I definitly need optical audio. Does this support it?

Also, when you yang, do not use a gang.

@125w cpu you'll want something with good airflow. I always prefer aluminum cases, they aid in cooling and love how light they are. Cant go wrong with Li-Lian, just depends on your budget. For some, something as simple as Antec's Steel Three Hundred model would fit the bill.
