Intel to exit desktop motherboard business after Haswell

My PC still has an Intel board DG43 (something, forgot that because I've used it only 2/3 times in 2012), and it was a replacement board for DP35DP (a very good option in its days ) but for those who don't care for OC. I'd say Intel boards were very good/stable+durable and competitively priced.

I'll have to agree with everyone one Intel's quality. I've never had any issues while using their motherboards. However as CaptainCranky mentioned they were pre-builts that included the Intel motherboards.

All mobos have some chips from intel, that's for sure ! Now let's see what the other players are going to implement as extra hence one manufacturer wont be supplying !

Years ago used D946GZIS board and it failed within 2 years. switched it with Gigabyte. also used GB for newer build.

Theres nothing to worry here...Intel boards had there own durability issues..most peoples recommend Asus..practicaly I know intel boards doesnt get the built quality of asus.....I never used intel board for my personal uses (only for some customer needs) only gigabyte asrock and now I used asus .....
