Chipmakers ALi and SiS both have a license to build Pentium 4 chipsets, but VIA doesn't (or so Intel claims). Because VIA's chip will be much cheaper ($28 vs about $40), SiS and Ali want Intel to sue VIA .

Uhh you need a license to make controllers? WTF. I know there are patents and crap here...but if VIA makes their own chipsets then whats the deal? Its not like VIA is making cheap P4 knock offs or anything.

VIA makes overall medium quality boards. Intel chipsets still have an edge over then in stability. VIA has come a long way though and is only getting better. I845 might suck, might be good for VIA. Olny time will tell.
