Jasper Motherboard in the Wild: 256MB Internal 'MU', 150W PSU
>> It looks like the first Jasper motherboards (which should have the new 65nm GPU) are now out in the wild!
Moddage posted pictures of his new Jasper 360 on our forums (here and here) and we also received some pictures from The Dude Z. Both are Arcade SKUs made 10-23-2008 Lot #0843X by Team FDOU.

The new power supply is now 150W (25W less than those used with Falcon boards) and the plug has of course been changed so u can't plugin this PSU into an older motherboard.

Other unannounced change ... the onboard flash chip has grown from 16MB to 256MB. Microsoft included internal memory storage, so the Arcade SKU now ships without (external) Memory Unit and the new NXE dash will install fully on the flashchip. But the memory can also be used to store gamesave data, XBLA games, videos or whatever ... u can use it asif it was a 256MB Memory Unit.

The motherboard design didn't change much ... besides the bigger flash and what's probably the new 65nm GPU, we also see a new south bridge ... the rest (videochip, CPU, heatsinks, general board layout, ...) seems pretty much similar to falcon boards.
