I just received my SNs. I guess the SE is better for OEM work that the laptop one.

I haven't been able to get it to work with itunes for volume control. and foolishly i thought it rotates before i got them. has anyone been able to get space navis to work with itunes fully?

give me tips and i will follow.

So a few weeks ago my Sony laptop gave out. It's quite annoying because everything was finally running great. I tried replacing the motherboard and processor but it's still broke. So I ordered some new parts and will have start all over again. Here is the list

Jetway NC62K
M2-ATX Car PC Carputer Power Supply
VoomPC-2 Enclosure
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4850E Dual Core AM2 2.5GHZ 45W
2 GB PC2-6400 DDR2 800 240 pins Memory

The Jetway board sounds great and has 10 usb ports which will solve most of the problems I had with the laptop and running usb hubs. Nice little speed boast too so Google Earth should be a lot smoother with buildings on.
I should get it all in a couple of days and then I'll start tweaking once again.

Ouch. Good luck with the Jetway and keep us updated.

you miiiiiiiiiight not have enough juice with the m2atx and the jetway and the 4850e

and i reccomend a 1gb stick of 1066 ram instead

swordfishunter · 10-08-2008, 01:09 AM

FYI dsatx works fine on the jetway

I can get 2 GB of 800 for the price of 1 GB of 1066. Is it really that much faster?
The 4850e is a very low power processor so I'm sure it'll be fine.

The ram will only run as fast as the FSB for the CPU. Now if you were overclocking then I would say get the 1066 but I doubt you are doing that in a carputer. Also, I am sure the timings are faster on the 800 than the 1066. Stick with the 800 you won't notice a difference.

swordfishunter · 10-09-2008, 02:18 PM

jetway fsb can support 1066 with flashed bios.

I tried booting the jetway with a friends m2atx... no dice.

OFC it had a pci sound card and a 10krpm drive and cd rom on it but, no dice.

BTW the board runs pretty hot and the 4850e brisbane chip has a known flaw in the temperature reading (it reads -13 degrees under the current temp).... i reccomend extra ventilation.

If u get this done i, i'd say we have very similar setup.

another thing, the heatsink on the 4850 is a BIIIIG and tall mofo, you will need to find something smaller for any slim casing.

Possibly a Logitech quickcam of sorts.

Yeah it's a logitech quickcam pro for notebooks I think.
Here are some pics of the new PC almost ready to go in the car. I'm just waiting for the ram to arrive tomorrow. It's definitely going to be a tight fit. That's what she said.
