Asustek Facing An Overstock of 965 Motherboards?

@ 2007/08/08
Sources at channel vendors have reported that first-tier motherboard maker Asustek Computer is facing an overstock of 965 chipset-based motherboards. Other first-tier makers such as Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) recently dropped prices for their newer Intel 3-series motherboards forcing Asustek to follow suit. This has resulted in Asustek's own 965 and 3-series motherboards being in competition with each other in the market, noted the sources.

True to an extend, based on the number of DYI versus OEM sales I'd say slower sales to forecast is the result.

All thanks to Vista not being picked up.

Yup, P35 motherboards are available at same price as P965, and between the two it's clear which one to go for (P35).
