The fellas at Hothardware (http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/chain_ti_4600.shtml) review Chaintech's "Special Edition" Ti 4600 vid card..

It sports a standard 15-pin VGA connector as well as an S-Video port for connection to a TV, and a DVI-I port, all on a golden colored bracket. The 128MB of DDR memory consists of 8 Samsung 2.8ns memory modules populating both sides of the PCB. If you do the math 2.8ns modules should be able to run at about 714 MHz, but we will save the overclocking portion of this review until later. The chips are cooled with polished heatsinks that have the Chaintech and GeForce 4 logos embossed on the front two. Also, the front two memory heatsinks are of the raised fin-type variety, while the two on the back are just plates, but everything helps when using such high-speed memory. Checking their website, I noticed that the A-GT60, the "standard" model of the GF4 TI 4600 Chaintech offers, does not have memory heatsinks at all.
See how it performs here (http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/chain_ti_4600(2).shtml)
