I've trawled through a crapload of forums and sites, but I'm still trying to find a satisfactory answer to a question that's been bugging me a while:
With all the competition in the motherboard sector (as compared to the processor or GPU sectors), why aren't prices going down or normalizing like the other said sectors?
I mean, as a gamer, I'm not exactly spoiled for choice on processors. Intel. Enough said. It's a little bit better for GPU's (I'm an ATI fanboy, by the way). But when it comes to mobo's, I could get an nforce 780i, 790i, an Intel X38, X48, P35 and on and on. And these are boards that I probably won't change for a while (unlike GPU's).
Once again, with all the variety and competition, why are prices so static?
