This is an entry-level motherboard for running office productivity

applications. Unlike other boards in its class, this one has a DV1 port, which

allows one to connect it to a monitor with a digital port. This can be useful

for watching HDV content. The Jetway M28GT3-SDG is based on NVIDIA NF-7025-630A

chipset supporting 64 bit, socket AM2 based Athlon 64X2 and Sempron processors.

It has four DDR-II memory slots supporting up to 8 GB RAM. It also supports SATA

RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD. It has one 10/100/1000 LAN port, one PCI-Express x16

slot and two 32-bit PCI slots. The key feature of this motherboard is that it

uses CPU throttling technology, which protects the CPU from overheating. It

cools the CPU by decreasing its speed whenever it reaches high preset

temperatures like 80 or 90°C. This reduces the chances of system reboots. On the

performance front the board gave average scores compared to other entry-level

boards in this price bracket. We tested the board with an Athlon 64X2, 2 GHz

CPU, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD and Windows XP. In PCMark 05 it scored 1,123 PCMarks.

In 3DMark 05 and 3DMark 06 the scores were 793 and 394 respectively. In Business

Winstone 2002, the board gave a score of 40.2. In Doom3 the average frame rate

was 16.0 FPS and in POV Ray the average was 76.08 FPS.
