ASUS and Gigabyte in catfight
Normally we don’t just copy and paste companies marketing mails, but this one is special: GigaByte slapped ASUS and now ASUS finally make some moves, click to read more:
It has come to our attention that a certain Taiwanese Motherboard Manufacturer has made false claims against ASUS motherboards. These claims have given rise to false information being communicated in both the mainstream media and technology channels. ASUS wishes to clarify the issues and so avoid any further confusion.
After investigation, it is clear that this company in question made use of a sponsored gathering of local and international media to deliberately spread information that we consider both untrue and without credible verification. This βdisinformationβ is not only extremely damaging to ASUS but also completely misleading to the consumers.
ASUS reserves the right to take legal action against any individual, organization or corporation which creates or spreads such rumors.

Jack,
Quad-NIC motherboards exist for few years! Mostly in corporate segment (like ASUS P5M2-E/4L launched year ago and ASUS DSEB-DG) and specialty solutions but also on Gigabyte’s own GA-N680SLI-DQ6 desktop board. And even having the much older mobo with quad LAN, GBT still claims that ASUS copied an idea from a very recent board, launched just a week before! Now, THIS part is ridiculous and just demonstrate a bad case of marketing wars. Because the reason for such action, as I see it, is not to bring truth to public (ASUS doesn’t claim they’re the pioneers in bringing Quad LAN to desktop) but just throw a piece of dirt on rival.

Personally I could care less what these companies gripe about. All the motherboard manufacturers copy each other. If they want true competition, maybe they should try lowering their insane prices…. $300 for a motherboard IS insane.
