Awesome news!!!!!! Glad to see Chaintech be back in competition with the big guys!! Back in the Socket A days Chaintech made some awesome motherboards.

Hope they can make a comeback and compete with Gigabyte, Asus, Asrock, etc...

Welcome back Chaintech!!! :=)

Wow, now there's a name I haven't heard in years...

Their mainstream ddr2 ram was some of the best you could get.

Now if only Hercules will return to the GPU market too.....

their 3D Prophet cards were a total BEAST. It has to be better and much more exciting then selling Audio/Audiophile hardware. Its just sad when they build such a big repution of awesomeness then do a complete U-turn a decide to take the business else where.

Woot! Can't wait to get my hands on that new 8800GTS 512mb

Hopefully their stuff is better than their ti4200 line

Overclocked, undercooled, underrated memory, and bad fans.

Great News IMO! I had one of their motherboards back in the day, it worked solidly for 8 years the AMD CPU croaked before the motherboard did!

... and now bring back Abit, plz.

the difference between Hercules, Chaintech & Abit is that Abit no longer exist.

Yup, I bought one of those cards new, boxed, for cheap a couple of years ago to add to my collection of graphics cards. Ended up using it in my friend's old AGP PC to help him out and within 6 months, the fan was making an awful racket and then two capacitors blew. Now the card doesn't work. Junk.
