Jetway MA3-79GDG Combo Motherboard Video Review

As DDR3 pokes its ugly expensive head into the AMD world. Jetway decided to make the transition from AM2 to AM3 as pleasant as possible. The MA3-79GDG Combo Motherboard gives you the ability to use the cheaper DDR2 variant or more expensive DDR3 with the latest AM2+ and AM3 processors. This includes the new Phenom II X4 chips, which we will be testing this board with today.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a board that is packed with features and that works straight out of the box, but at the same time, still leaves you enough money to feed your children. Then you should definitely be looking at this board. It includes integrated graphics, audio and gigabit LAN, and has full support for DDR2 and DDR3 modules, making the changeover to AM3 simple. It also has a great combination chipset, giving the most modest overclockers fantastic results every time.
