According to the director of the Taiwanese MSI Company (Micro-Star International), Mr. Joseph Hsu, the results of the H1 2002 indicate that their company deserves being called the leading graphics card manufacturer. Although the results of the first half of the year haven’t yet been finalized, there is no doubt that MSI outpaced all its competitors, having produced about 6 million graphics cards.

It’s funny that at the same time they managed to manufacture only 5 million mainboards during the same half of the year. In other words, they have been focusing more on the graphics cards rather than on mainboards production. This is the only case when a company traditionally considered as a mainboard maker performs like that. Both: ASUS and Gigabyte, not to mention the others, always produce more mainboards than graphics cards.

This way. We have every right to say that MSI is little by little turning into a graphics card maker, even though they have been in the graphics business for a relatively short period of time and the mainboard field has always been their major. At the same time we have to point out that all graphics cards supplied by MSI are based on NVIDIA chips only. This stresses once again that NVIDIA graphics chips families can satisfy the needs of any user groups.

Also MSI manufactures optical devices, tuners, servers and workstations and barebones.
