I really can't see them reversing direction on their decision to get out of the board making business at this time. They sell quite a few more chips through the various makers than they could hope to on their own. Diamond & Creative get them the most sales but other board makers such as STB, Canopus, Elsa (last I remember their was 16) all contribute their fair share. Each of these board makers has their own retail/wholesale distribution, each spends dollars on marketing, market research, etc. TDFX gets huge leverage from this and I don't see them changing that in the near term.
