    HEXUS.beans :: ASUS / Gigabyte merge - Confirmed!
    The new company will have a capital value of 80Billion NT. This will all happen in January 2007. ASUS will have 49% shareholding in the new company, and Gigabyte will have 51%.

    More as we get it...

    Abit will join in on the fun and they can just call it A-Byte.

    Will be interesting to see how long it takes for this to actually have an effect on us.

    Good news for the consumer in my book

    Instead of trying to avoid 2 awful brands i now just need to be on the lookout for 1. Good work chaps
