Foxconn motherboards no more?
Whispers within the industry are being heard about about Foxconn and their future as a high end motherboard manufacturer. According to the rumours Foxconn are looking to scale back their operations and the end user manufacturing division may get the chop. This would be a blow to the high end user as Foxconn have brought some great motherboards to the market.
Foxconn was founded in 1974, and their end user Foxconn branded motherboard manufacture is only a small part of their business operations. They produce some well known products, such as the iPod and iPhone for Apple, the PS2 and PS3 for Sony as well as producing Intel CPU's. We do not know the reasons why Foxconn would consider ceasing production of their motherboards, and if the rumours prove to be true it will be a sad day for enthusiasts.

The reason for the 3 ddr3 slots is because they will be selling tripple ram kits, and as the other board you saw its has 6 so it can take 2 x tripple ram kits. you can get a 3gb kit which is perfect for 32 bit, and 6gb which is good for 64 bit os.
You just repeated what i said :P
