Why have i never realy heard about J&W before?

[Herc130]

In Hong Kong and went to Wan Chai computer center in Honk Kong, but very few sellers of ITX boards there and seemingly none of them even know what J&W is, even though it's a Chinese manufacturer and they are located right in Hong Kong. Next day, went to the Golden Computer center in Sham Shui Po and found several sellers there. All had it listed at $1190 HK. I was told that is the lowest price and thye generally don't barter there, so I bought three at that price. Will check out Mongkok later and either buy three more at Mongkok or back to Sham Shui Po. $1190 is @$153, which is less then you can get it at some places online in the US and a few dollars more then one other place. For me though, shipping per board would drastically increase the cost, so I am opting to just buy it while in HK and not pay shipping and will see how RMAing through J&W itself goes if I have problems.

I found one place in Europe selling this board for 170 Euro+S&H
There's an alternative: Jetway JNC81. It's cheaper, more widespreaded, but uses GDDR2 as sideport and PCI slot instead of PCI-e

What is this white connector on the bottem right corner?




Noticed mine has it, but the first ic in this post dos not. Is it for connecting TFT LCD modules internally?

In the book, it's just listed as the "multifunctional connector" and the discription doesn't say much except to refer to device you are hooking up for more info.

So is it possible to get this in the US?

Manual says :

14-J1(Multifunctional device connecter) (Optional) :
The connecter may connect external multifunctional device, ,about detail connect way and
definition,please refer to external connect device's manual.

But it looks like an LDVS connector, just like the ones in notebooks, used to connect the tft panel...

You can get the board through US e-sellers. Think Nerds and a couple Amazon stores sell em (probably same stores), as well as ebay. Last I looked, ebay sellers wanted $160+ US, Nerds was @there and NCIX (something like that...the Canada store that also sells to US) was @$146.

Went through Mongkok and they had it listed at $1140 HK, but no one had it in stock. Went back to Golden and bartered the price down to $1100 HK, but that guy only had 1. Next two was hard to find as they were all out of stock everywhere and I ended up paying $1190 again for the last two. 100 HK is $13 us, so whatever. Just hopefully I have no problems with the boards as I can't even check em till I get home. Also picked up 6 Seagate 5400.5 160GB 2.5" HDD's at $350 HK ($46 US). Newegg has Seagate 5400.4 160GB notebook drives at $69. Hopefully the 5400.5 is a better model and I got a good deal

Now to find a 45w AM2 cpu. Seen AMD LE 6xxx (supposedly 2.5GHz) cpu's at$280 HK ( @$36 US), but haven't been able to located info on such a cpu online to compare. So am hesitent to buy.

can you please check if it's possible to undervolt the CPU and to what setting

Will when I get home and actually get these up and running. These compters will be turned on alot for me and don't really need to be too powerful, so maybe even an undervolted 45w 2.5GHz will be more then enough.
