I don't think "give up" is the right word. I think they could license it to GTW (not to Jabil). Or I wonder if GTW could not just license an AMD reference design. Joe, Maybe through AMD......they have some leverage. But they would have no leverage with a GTW. ted

Joe, > I don't think "give up" is the right word. I think they could license it to GTW (not to Jabil). Or I wonder if GTW could not just license an AMD reference design. > AS far as I know, AMD's reference design is for free. IMHO, mother board design is not that complex when you are dealing with highly integrated chips, and especially when you have a full access to a reference design such as AMD's board. Manufacturing good quality mobos in high volume at reasonable cost is more daunting than getting a license to a motherboard design. Goutama
