| VIA Leaves Chipset Business VIA says there is no longer a place for third party chipset makers For a long time there have been several manufacturers in the chipset business and the largest of them were Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, VIA, and SiS. VIA today announced that it will be leaving the motherboard chipset business, ceding the market to its competitors. Custom PC reports that VIA insiders said the company no longer sees a market for third-party chipset makers. VIA's Richard Brown told Custom PC, "One of the main reasons we originally moved into the x86 processor business was because we believed that ultimately, the third party chipset market would disappear, and we would need to have the capability to provide a complete platform. That has indeed come to pass." DailyTech - VIA Leaves Chipset Business

| Re: VIA Leaves Chipset Business It is kind of strange. I had so many problems with VIA chipsets over the years - they always seemed to be quirky. But competition is always good. But who is going to make the chipsets for Via's nano processors? I would presume they still have to make those. |

| Re: VIA Leaves Chipset Business I am not surprised. I stopped using them years ago because whenever I called them with a problem, I am sorry to say that I could not get to speak to anyone that could hold a conversation in English. |
