Gigabyte
Gigabyte had a very large presence at Computex and introduced several new board designs based on Intel chipsets.
Gigabyte has an entire series of server related products and was showing several Opteron boards featuring both the NVIDIA and Broadcom chipsets.
The GA-965P-DS4 features the Intel P965 and ICH8R chipsets along with HD audio and dual PCI-E X16 slots for graphics, although the second X16 slot is limited to X4 operation at this time. (All boards with this chipset have the same limitation.) The board also features Gigabyte's new silent heat pipe system along with all capacitors being solid chemical based.
The GA-965QM-S2 features the Q965 chipset designed for businesses along with the ICH8 chipset. The board includes the new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 and optimized LAN capabilities.
The GA-946PC-S3 features the Intel 946PL and ICH7 chipsets along with HD audio and a PCI-E X16 slot for graphics.
Gigabyte was showing of their new Mobile on Desktop system with the GA-8I945GMMFY-RH (which wins the show award for longest product name) that featured a Core Duo processor, Silent Pipe Radeon X1300 video, and GT-PTV-TAF-RH (we are not making these part numbers up!) Analog/Digital TV tuner card. A very good blend of components for building a silent and inexpensive HTPC system.

I have an old ECS mainboard, and it worked great (except for some restarts when gaming over 12 hours :D )lewisc - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
MSI - 'Angelic Quality, Heavenly Performance'. Well I don't know about anyone else, but I've been looking for a graphics card for quite some time that flies better with the Big Guy.What exactly is angelic about a computer product?!

Sorry, that should be angelic quality, heavenly experience.swtethan - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
Good thing from ASrock for us people suck in agp world wanting a conroe.Rock Hydra - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
Yeah, I hope the AGP/PCIe is implemented in the same manner as the ULI chipsed does. Though, I'm less interested in AGP, and WAY more interested in DDR. Though...what would the DDR2 800 or 667 Equivalence be to DDR? Would i have to get DDR800 or DDR667, and does something like that even exist?Strunf - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
The FSB is either 800 or 1066, soo the DDR and DDR2 have to be 400 or 533...its actually written on the boards DDR400 or DDR2 667.Performance wise I would say DDR400 is on pair with DDR2 533.
