Anand's Preview of Mobos in 2002 from COMDEX

From Anand's Article:

Unfortunately NVIDIA's nForce has not been met with such great enthusiasm by motherboard manufacturers. The five launch partners for the nForce are still dealing with various issues in their designs in spite of the fact that NVIDIA's reference boards have been running just fine. One manufacturer even told us that they weren't sure if their nForce board would hit before the end of the year.

Not seeing any value in being on the show floor, AOpen joined the majority of the Taiwanese manufacturers in the Venetian. They naturally had an 845 DDR solution which we should be receiving soon for our upcoming roundup.

Woohoo! Anand has i845-B!

Interesting enough, DFI is also going to start manufacturing ATI video cards. They already have the Radeon 7000, 7500, and 8500 ready and they should be out in the market soon. When asked why they chose ATI over NVIDIA, the response was because everyone else was making NVIDIA cards and they'd like to be different.
