Using the AMD 780G chipset with 128MB DDR2 sideband-memory gives the board superiority against most competition. Jetway installed the weakest Gb LAN solution available which is a Realtek RTL8111C, a very cheap solution with some drawbacks in performance and at this price-level it was short-sighted. As mentioned before there is only a 2.1 audio solution with the Realtek ALC662. Surprisingly the small heatsink for the 780G chipset is sufficient to keep temperatures at acceptable levels.
