Wow, they must have just taken that off today. I swear that link was working
early this morning. Anyway, here is a link directly to the PDF from Jetway's
site: http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/939GT3-PTD.pdf
It says the chipset is nFoece410 MCP(MCP51G)

Thanks. I will do that.

I'm going to have to sit down and make a spreadsheet of all the various options
to toggle off and on. I've lots track of all the things I have tried.

The MB is capable of it, but I have never done that before. After a little
reading I am more confused than ever (ram timing vs core, etc). I need to do
more research. If you have any guides that you are particularly fond of, I am
all ears.
I may still go for another 512mb module to try and get the dual-channel going.
I'll just buy it locally so I can return it if it makes no difference.
Thanks,
Nate
