How Motherboards Are Made

Techno-consumerist writes "Ever wonder how motherboards are made? How all those little electronic bits and pieces are put in place, and how each board is tested? PCstats takes a look behind the scenes of the Nan-Ping Gigabyte factory in Taiwan, and documents the amazingly complicated process from start to finish. Very cool, but surprising about how much labour goes into each board."

    The Guy that made the sign on the airshower door must be that same guy that translates the manuals that comes with the motherboards.

    If you ever been to Taiwan you'd know most girls there look absolutely great (it's not only me noticing this). I don't know how did they achieve it.

    How do you know he's interested in their looks? This is slashdot - he probably just wants a free motherboard ;)

    My guess is that the fatherboards refuse to perform garbage collection, misinterpret the communication protocol with the motherboard, and are constantly scolded for eyeing off the newer models of GPU's.

    Thus they are kept in solitary confinement far from the eyes of the public and are used only to pump out offspring. It's solely for the XY86 chromosome, I'm sure.

    Now I know why I've never had much luck with Gigabyte boards, they arn't tested to Australian climates

    Actually, I think you'll find your problem is that Gigabyte motherboards aren't designed to work upside-down.
