Re: no evidence whatsoever...

Elmer,

MSI builds and sells the 6167 motherboard. For all of their other products, they send flyers to their distributors promoting the products and feature them on the MSI web site - but not the 6167.

Why is that?

Tyan and Asus promote their upcoming motherboards on their web site that use Intel chipsets, even VIA chipsets that support Intel processors, but the Athlon boards for which pictures and tests are available on unofficial sites are not on the official sites. The Asus boards are available outside the US but Asus is afraid to even mention them, much less market them, here.

Why is that?

I'll keep an open mind - perhaps the distributor who talked to my VAR didn't know the facts. How do you explain the behavior of the motherboard companies if it isn't due to threats from Intel?
