Digitimes and we keep watching with great interest the "unannounced" competition among the Big Four members in terms of mainboards supply volumes. Let’s have a look at the results for the month of March:

Company	Mainboard Supplies, thousand pieces
	January 2002	February 2002	March 2002	Total in Q1 2002
ECS	1550	1225	1300	4075
ASUS	1400	1250	1400-1450	4050-4100
Gigabyte	1000	810	820	2630
MSI	?	?	900	?

Finally MSI came up with some info on its sales as well. As we have expected (see this news story), MSI’s results appeared a bit higher than those of Gigabyte. Basing on the last year’s tendencies (see this news story), I can suppose that almost the same picture was observed during the first three months of the year, however, we do not have any exact data at hand that’s why let’s leave MSI on the fourth position, though you may think it is not quite fair.

A pretty curious thing happens with the first position on this list. Because of the "approximate data" submitted by ASUS, it is impossible to single out which company is the leader now. as you remember, this quarter Elitegroup is going to put into service additional production lines in China, and it means that very soon they will outpace ASUS so greatly, that a 50 thousand error will play no role any more. :)
