Re: I think you also underestimate how quickly and easily a new motherboard can be spun if no new technology is involved.. TP, I design motherboards for a living. There's nothing easy about it. It requires a lot of engineering resources, CAD, Lab, Bios support, testing facilities, EMI scans and approvals, a unique ASL, vendor qualification are just a few of the many facets of designing any motherboard regardless of wether is has new technology or not. In order to properly design for quality and offer a warranty is no easy task. The actual layout of the board can be done in only a few weeks, it's all the other stuff that requires expensive resources. To do all that just to put something in an old chassis makes no sense.
