3* PCI-Express x16 Slots for WHAT???

i dont know myself , thats why i posted it .
i mean to say is that this mobo maker JETWAY , are they any good , in terms of stablelity , reliablety , and Overclocking .
there are quiet alot of JETWAY mobos out there , like the ATI Radeon Xpress , for AMD 939 .

Peace & caio !!
 
Not long ago I was wondering when we were going to see more than 2 PCI-E 16x slots on a motherboard. Now of course, I highly doubt that all three of those slots are truly 16x in capacity, but if you ever need to connect six monitors to your system, that is the board to get. :thumbsup:
 
I wonder if we can get a review of this board using 3 video cards and 3+ monitors. Multiscreen gaming sucks with 2 monitors, because your focus (i.e the center) is in the middle of two displays. With 3 displays, the center would be right in the center of the middle display.

Love to see a review.
 
Jetway has it listed on their site as 1 16x and 2 8x. I'm going to hazard to guess its just their way of doing it without using the space of a selector card or jumpers. More than likely the 16x slot is disabled or drops to 1x under SLI and the 8x's drop to 1x when a single 16x video card is in (or something close to that).

Considering there is a current chipset limit of 20 PCI-e lanes this is the only thing that makes sense to me.
 
I had a Jetway LX board back in the day, and it worked fine until I replaced it. Well, it might have had an issue with the tnt2 ultra that I had at the time, but I was still a total newbie at the time, so it might not have been the board.
 
cookies? dude, its sad to see that theres lots of people out there that seems to think that video is all we live for. Most new-generation SATA II RAID cards come in PCIe x8 and x16 interfaces (PCI-X being clunky as it is). The bandwith needs of a 32-way RAID-6 array make an SLI setup look puny in comparison and PCI-X being clunky as it is, PCIe is a natural solution. Numerous other devices use PCIe x8 and x16 also, from high-end real time video and data capture cards (from surveillance feeds on multiple cameras to medical work) to various grid interfaces for server clustering. so there

Well, overall, SOCKET 7 was a stable as the San Andres fault in California, right?

But I've read nice things on those Jetway mobos. Try www.ocworkbench.com - they have some reviews there. Those dudes love ASRock, ECS and Jetway.
 
the 2 green ones are if you have an SLI configuration, the yellow one in the middle is for single card configuration. 😀
 
My (lame?) guess: Two PCI-E slots for an Nvidia 7800GTX SLI setup and the third slot for an Ageia PhysX Processing Unit. 😉
