I'm just glad I decided not to become an engineer the retirement would be murder -
Soltek SL-85MIR-L Review @ Tweakers Australia
Published: Thursday, August 8, 2002 | By: DennisIf you have been following the Soltek press released at all you will remember that this is the board that Soltek overclocked to 200MHz FSB.
The Tweakers crew seemed to be preoccupied with the shinny new mouse pad and lack of Vcore adjustments to take notice.
For those that don't know Soltek released a BIOS for the 85MIR-L that would allow the user to lock the AGP, and PCI clocks while still allowing adjustments to the FSB and memory. In doing so their engineers where able to overclock the system to 200MHz using an unlocked 1.7GHz P4. -
Soltek SL-85ERV Review @ Hardware-test.dk
Published: Tuesday, August 6, 2002 | By: DennisWe actually have one of these boards on the test bench and I must say I'm quite impressed with the VIA P4X400 chipset. It's an amazing overclocker at least with the 533MHz processors. Look for the review to be posted later this week, in the meantime checkout what the UK guys have to say.

phj34r my lack of news
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2002 | By: DennisSorry for the lack of news postings but since the 1st I've been quite busy. The most distracting of them was birthday stuff on the 1st of this month.
Stay tuned, there should be a new motherboard review by the middle of next week and it should be a dozy.
I would also like to thank the new members of the Ninjalane Message Forum for joining, may the posts be with you

333MHz FSB Athlon info @ The Tech Report
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 | By: DennisWe would like to think that AMD is at least thinking about what options they have with the Athlon XP until the Hammer is released but what are they??
" AMD, meanwhile, is betting that its upcoming Hammer chips will turn things around. But, stray rumors aside, all indications are that the first Hammer won't be ready until December of this year at the earliest. What's AMD to do in the meantime? One answer is Barton, the planned next revision of the Athlon with 512KB of L2 cache. Another possibility, however—and one that's been getting more and more attention recently—is the possibility of a 333MHz bus for the Athlon XP. "
I'll cross my fingers too,
