VIA La Resistance

EBN has a story about restistance from motherboard makers to use VIA's Pentium 4 chipset. This is mainly because VIA doesn't have an official license for the Pentium 4, with Intel unwilling to grant one. This means Asus, Gigabyte Technology and Microstar won't have a VIA P4 board any time soon.

Let the best product win, not the one with licensing powers.

To me this sounds good. After all the 4in1 patches that come out bi-weekly, one less system available that requires it = good imo.

Bring on the nForce & let's hope Intel grants nvidia a license.
