Intel puts pressure on other chipsets

[Asus]

What's up with future "Conroe" chipsets?
Intel puts pressure on Taiwan mobo companies about RD600 chipset and NVIDIA's C19 nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition faces uncertain future

"The word in Taiwan, where I live and run my site TweakTown.com, is that the high-anticipated ATI RD600 Conroe chipset is only going to be provided by one motherboard manufacturer, DFI. According to my sources, Intel has been putting pressure on Taiwan motherboard companies not to produce RD600 based motherboards. DFI stood up to the Intel giant and mentioned to us that they’ll be the only company providing an RD600 board, the DFI Lanparty RD600."

Not the best move to limit choices.

F*ck, I want an RD600, guess I'll have to go DFI. Never tried them before, are they any good?

They are good but ****sane expensive. I think especially this one since it will be the only RD600 mobo on the planet.

Expensive? They are expected to retail for $150.

 

[The Brick]

Oh... All the DFI boards I ever saw in shops here were over €250...

Whoa! Awesome news, I was seriously expecting to pay no less than $200. Now I can spend the extra on RAM
