Published: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 | By: DennisSpeakers are something that we typically don't concern ourselves with here at Ninjalane primarily due to how difficult they are to review but every once in a while a special product finds a way into the Ninjalane Labs that deserve a second look.

Chaintech shall not only phase-in new module business but also remain the motherboard and VGA card business unchanged."

Chaintech to exit motherboard business
Published: Thursday, September 8, 2005 | By: DennisI'm gonna have to confirm this one, sad times if its true.
"Second-tier motherboard maker Chaintech Computer plans to phase out its motherboard business and introduce a new memory module product line in October, as IC testing and packaging house Walton Advanced Engineering has become Chaintech’s largest shareholder with a 25% stake, according to the Chinese-language Commercial Times report today.
Chaintech confirmed that the company is gearing up to launch memory module products and will gradually phase out its motherboard business. However, the launch date of the new product line has not been revised. Despite its plan to exit the motherboard market, Chaintech will carry on its graphics card business, which accounts for about 60% of its revenues at present, the paper indicated." -

Overclocking the Athlon X2 3800+ @ Legit Reviews
Published: Saturday, September 3, 2005 | By: DennisIt would seem that overclocking the dual core Athlon64's is very similar to previous versions but with a lot more headroom, I can't wait to get my hands on one.
"Looking around different forums I've noticed most people hitting 2.6 to 2.7GHZ with good cooling, and a few hitting 2.8 to 2.95GHz on extreme cooling. While I can't vouch for anyone else’s stability or results I will say the 3800+ I have been torturing for a week now is one of the best processors I've ever had." -
