COMPUTEX 2008: Axle maybe a popular Nvidia partner here in the East, but the Western market is also soon to get another partner.

Willy Wong?
Oh I feel sorry for that guy.

lol please say that's a typo

Oh my, what an unfortunate name. And he goes by Willy?..

Isn't the company Palit new to this as well? Their cards look cool at least. If Axle pulls off something weird, like transparent PCB, or all cards $50 less than everyone else, It'll convince me. Till then, Sapphire works for me.

What's wrong with the name Willy? I'm a Willy. That's what my mates call me. I'm proud to be a Willy. You gonna ban my name from going online?

It would be even more fun if it was "willy Wonka"...

But back on topic. A new brand with 'standard' design sticker galore but very cheap. Will this be in cheap pcb/chip choices and other parts that makes these graphics cards go DOA when i touch the box or explode in my expensive mobo...

No, Willy's okay, but his name, it's just plain Wong.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

More board partners, just what we need! Lots of companies producing identical products about the same price differentiated only by how crap the game is they are bundled with!

We dont need another brand that sells the same reference cards with stock coolers, if however they sell someting different they are more than welcome.
