No more intel asus boards.Haaaaaa!!!!

i need to change useur name.

All the article says is that Asus isn't going to make OEM boards for Intel under contract anymore. Doesn't mean you won't still be able to get Asus branded boards for Intel processors(which are my personal choice in boards and what I am running in my home PC right now). So basically, to all of us, it means absolutely nothing.

I'd guess that Asus is just running out of manufacturing capacity between all the side ventures they're getting into(Laptops, handhelds, etc) and the fact that they have to make both the Asus and Asrock branded motherboards. With all of that, the space probably wasn't worth setting aside for Intel, least, not at the rates that Intel was paying them.

AGain, how the heck is Asus going to lsoe any customers? People buying said boards weren't Asus customers anyways, they were Intel customers, buying Intel branded and boxed boards, which happened to be made for Intel by Asus. Did you even read the story, or my original post tha tyou replied to?

Maybe that eng.. but is not that clear at the end they say outsourcing 17 million motherboards that what ASUS\ASrock produce with intel chipset.

Key word there is outsourcing, meaning Asus is making them for Intel, not that they are making them for themselves with Intel chipsets.
