Jetway Sli...3-Day...shipped today

This is kinda a followup for this guy...

Hmm...where to start...

Well, this board just didn't like me...Or maybe i had too high a hopes for it. The tccd ram i have, has issues with it. Patriot XBLK 2x512. I'm having trouble stablizing it at 1T and 400. Screw oc'ing. One of the reviews i read on this board used specifically Patriot xblk 2x512 tccd lol. Oh well.

I didn't have the sound issues i thought i would. I had some ocz 2x1024 gb stuff in there running 233 1:1 1T cmd rate for a while with my 3000+. I also recorded 240 and 250 in futurmark on this board.

There hadn't been an update to the bios in a long time for this board, (july of last year...) so i called up the company (i found an office in California with an 800 number), they walked me through Jetway's website to where i could download an update. Which was great...but the update, while it loaded just fine, didn't work after rebooting. My computer was dead afterwards of course...So they said they'd send me a new bios chip...Well i emailed them a month later asking about it, i guess there had been a shortage, but they had one when i called...I got it about a week later, without a tool to take out the old one. That was a royal pain getting the old one out.

So, now i have a Jetway board that works...It runs solid now. That's about the best thing i can say about it. Running solid is great, but i'm still left with the sour taste that can only be left behind by buying cheap and getting crapped on.
