Hello,
I recently jumped on the Intel bandwagon with their new 865PE chipset. Even though Chaintech doesn't get much press here in the US it seems, I opted for Chaintech's offering in the 9PJL Apogee because of their attractive bundle and a couple of reviews I've read. It does not have RAID or the CSA Gigabit but it has been a solid board and is easy on the eyes
. For my needs, the bundle was more valuable to me because I don't have much use for RAID and I wouldn't be able to take advantage of Gigabit ethernet anyway. I was wondering if there is a Chaintech community in these forums that have this board or have been considering it for purchase. I would like to be able discuss my board with others. I wouldn't mind seeing this board get a review on Anandtech either. I think some might be interested to know there is another alternative out there. Also, does anyone that may own other Chaintech boards (AMD or Intel) know where you can get descriptions of their BIOS releases? Their website does not go into detail as to what the BIOS releases fix or adds. In fact, they don't show anything. Thanks in advance. For those that are interested, I've included a review link for this board:
