Review: Shuttle AK32A
Introduction So here we have the Shuttle Spacewalker AK32A, which is an evolution of the AK32 I already reviewed here. The only difference is the updated chipset, which is now the VIA KT266A, as opposed to the KT266, that is used on the Shuttle AK32. The thing that is really...
Review: EpoX EP-8KTA3
Introduction I was really looking forward to do this review. The EpoX EP-8KTA3 is part of my Win98 testing machine for many years now, where I test older graphics cards, soundcards and so on. I also use it to test SDR memory. It literally never let me down and never...

For now, the reviews found here are limited to Socket A motherboards. For the future, you can expect a neverending stream of hardware (primarily graphics cards) that I collected in over 20 years. The main focus will be hardware from ~1997 to ~2007 and I can promise reviews of rare and interesting stuff and excessive comparisons and benchmarks, which weren't done in this kind of way yet.
