J&W MINIX 785G-SP128MB Motherboard Reviews – At first, the Mini-ITX platform began bustling used when Intel introduced the nettop as miniPC. MiniPC has advantages in energy consumption and the lack of space that is used to place the Mini-ITX chassis. The platform created nettop, Intel installed a dual-core Intel Atom processor which is claimed to have higher performance than Intel Atom single-core which is used in netbooks. Although claimed to have higher performance than Intel Atom single-core processors, many users are disappointed with their performance. 
Many users expect Mini-ITX platforms that have high performance. J & W tried to answer this need through its products, namely MINIX. MINIX is itself a naming given by J & W for a mini-sized products such as Mini-ITX board and a netbook.
In Mini-ITX board, the J & W uses the AMD 785G chipset and SB710 southbridge. As an AMD board that was driven by the AMD785G chipset, this board also has onboard graphics in the form of AMD’s Radeon 4200. To increase the power of the onboard graphics, J & W has also added SidePort memory of 128 MB which is located adjacent to the processor socket. As a result, this board produces score 224 points in 3D Mark Vantage.
As a solution of low onboard graphics are provided, the J & W also provides a 16x PCIe slot running at 8x speed. The limited size and southbridge chipsets makes laying close together, so that both are only cooled by a large passive heatsink. In addition, the port is also located berdesakkan provided by other ports, one of which is the SATA ports. In addition to the location of the SATA ports adjacent to each other, the number of ports is also reduced from normal, which was originally 6 ports to only 4 ports.
When we tested this board, there are enough peculiarities nge on with me. Board is able to live with AMD Phenom X4 II 955BE which is rated for 140 W TDP Whereas in the website, this board only supports up to TDP 65 W. Surprise from J & W’s board is also visible from the BIOS that is included. In the BIOS there are a lot of overclocking options are fairly complete.
