Ocworkbench에 따르면 비아사에서 VPSD(VIA platform Solutions Division)이란 브랜드로 메인보드 시장에 직접 참여한다고 올라왔습니다.. 구체적으로 판매될 제품에 대해서도 거론됐는데..P4X266칩셋 기반의 보드들이며 가격, 성능 등에서 최고의 제품이 될거라 하네요..
이제는 비아에서 직접 제품을 생산한다니 음~ 기대가 되는군요.. 하지만 인텔의 경우처럼 뭐 특별한 부가적인 기능보다는 안전성에 기반을 둔 제품일거 같은데.. 하이튼 기대해봐야겠습니다..

VIA Technologies, Inc today announced the establishment of the VIA platform Solutions Division (VPSD). This new Business Unit further enhances VIA's ability to provide the complete platform solution for all market segments.
VPSD Products
VPSD's first VIA branded products to hit the shelves will be the VIA P4X266 Series, a complete line of mainboards for professional, performance and value market segments based around the acclaimed VIA P4X266 core logic chipset. The VIA P4X266 harnesses high-performance DDR266 SDRAM, providing the most balanced and cost effective platform for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor based PC systems, workstations and servers.
Two such mainboards from VPSD's P4X266 Series include the VIA P4X266 PR22-R and the VIA P4X266 VL33-S. The 478-pin PR22-R mainboard combines support for up to 3GB of high bandwidth DDR266 SDRAM and 400MHz FSB with an array of advanced features such as onboard IDE RAID support and 6-channel audio. The 423-pin VL33-S mainboard provides a cost-effective and scalable solution with onboard AC'97 audio codec and also supports up to 3GB of DDR266 SDRAM.
Looks like VIA is losing support of major first and second line manufacturers in manufacturing P4X266 boards. We definitely hope to see more high quality VIA mainboards, this will drive pricing even further. The next question is, will other mainboard manufacturers use VIA chipset in the future since VIA is now a new competitor ?
