I've used one in a mega budget build (44 dollars canadian mobo woot)
it has not exploded yet
Ok, because I just saw one on Newegg which supports DDR 2 and 3 with AM3 with two PCI - E cards. And thought of getting it.

What price?
Same price as the Gigabyte one I was going to get, and just now looking at it closer I see its Micro ATX instead of full ATX like the Gigabyte.

EDIT: Do you also think two 5850 or 70's could fit in the Jetway since the PCI - E slots are so close?
Just get the Gigabyte one.

I have that gigabyte motherboard. It's fantastic.

what how, they're not even mechanically compatible, let alone electrically.

You cant use both at the same time, either 4gb in the DDR2 slots or 4gb in the DDR3 slots.
Ok, looking at the motherboard, I see how it's done. It's a terrible idea.
Among limiting the amount of RAM you can install in a system, dual memory standard boards are generally pretty buggy, which is why you only usually find them on budget boards.
Like everyone else said, get the Gigabyte board.
Gigabyte sounds a bit a more reliabale than some weird taiwanese brand.
