Major Motherboard Makers Survive Wonky Month

The bean counters at Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and every other first-tier motherboard maker are working overtime crunching numbers and trying to get a pulse on the mobo market.
June hasn't been kind to any of the motherboard makers except MSI, which saw revenues jump 13.05 percent over the previous month. ECS took the biggest hit, recording a drop of 17.73 percent, followed by Asus at 5.53 percent. Gigabyte, Pegatron, and ASRock also skidded backwards to the tune of 5.48 percent, 3.1 percent, and 0.94 percent, respectively.
But while June wasn't particularly kind to most of the major motherboard players, they've all seen positive gains for the year, except for ASRock, which is down 11.94 percent. Asus is the biggest winner, having increased its revenues to 68.62 percent on year, while Pegatron and MSI recorded gains of 20.4 percent and 19.03 percent, respectively. Everyone else saw double digit gains as well.

I bought a Gigabyte board to replace my MSI when it blew a transistor and caught on fire. I'm so proud to have contributed. =)

I much prefer Gigabyte, for their durable 2x copper, Award BIOS and no crappy capacitors. A little easier to install, too, IMO.
I used to have a lot of MSI PCs, but now it's Gigabyte all the way.

I'm waiting for one of my mobos to die before I build a new computer. Also, ECS is listed twice in the first, er... second, paragraph, as the highest and lowest drop.
