Goodbye NVIDIA nForce?
If the report from Taiwanese industry observer DigiTimes holds ground, NVIDIA could be wrapping up its chipset division. This was revealed by sources at top motherboard manufacturers who have attended a meeting with NVIDIA where the company sought support from them to continue the chipset business. The manufacturers didn't show obvious or in other words, positive support.
Here's how the exit of nForce could affect the industry and you :
Update: NVIDIA has responded to the DigiTimes article saying that they are not leaving the chipset business and have no intention of doing so.source

Here's how the exit of nForce could affect the industry and you :
- It will debunk any recent speculation that Apple will be adopting Nvidia chipsets for its upcoming notebook products
- You could be using the same motherboard for multi-GPU configurations across both ATI and NVIDIA hardware
- The subtraction of the BR-04 chip on X58 motherboards could still fetch SLI given that some manufacturers hint that they wouldn't bother using it, forcing NVIDIA to "give it away", meaning use it directly on the platform

They have bad caps? They use all Japanese caps on there current boards, or at least the 2 I have seen.
You realize Foxconn is a HUGE part manufacturer for other companies dont you? like ASUS. yes. ASUS has foxconn parts in some of its motherboards, like the P5E-VM HDMI 3 feet away from me? Foxconn parts right on it. My Ipod? made by foxconn. I agree with cdawall you just are not willing to try product. Cant we adopt that to Intels graphics division? :p
