Just an observation - Maybe they pissed of nVidia by going to ATI for their graphic cards?
I remember Asus was toying with ATI GPU's, but they never materialized - pressure from nVidia?
"You build video cards w/ATI chipsets - you get no nForce chipsets"?

But FIC, the only large company that rolled out the ATI chipset boards, and makes ATI video cards - HAS nForce2 solutions.. :confused:

Hmmm..

Fic's Nforce 2 board is just an 8RDA+ with no debug LED panel. It might be that Gigabyte is concentrating on the Intel side.

Edit: Most of the recent Gigabyte boards I have used on both the AMD and Intel side have been pretty lame. Hence I have started to call them "Gigasuck". ;)

The last girl I dated could have gone by that name too... No doubt about it... she really sucked.
