Boy I can't wait til the dust settles...

If they can figure out how make a board that is not FSB limited on the OC, then I am all for it.

say it aint so!

i was looking at asus alternatives such as gigabyte when (if) i go conroe because it seems theyve been sliding since the early Socket 775 days...

yuck.

foxconn isnt really in either of their market segment really either. unless you talk about the HP/compaq boards asus made (still making?)
i dont like it.

edit:

seems like their getting dragged into a fight that isnt theirs, unless im overlooking some huge volume sales stuff...

Well, since Asus would be buying Gigabyte, perhaps they will keep the product line seperate....best case scenerio, they will combine the best technologies of both, but then again, when was the last time a company did something THAT right?

Click to expand...

Every board will be FSB limited at some point. You've got to talk to the chipset manufacturer about that - not the board manufacturers.
