Taiwan first-tier motherboard makers Asustek Computer, Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) expect to ship a combined 128 million motherboards in 2006, up 22% from the estimated 104.86 million they shipped last year, according to the companies.

Asustek anticipates its motherboard shipments will grow 16% to more than 60 million units in 2006, driven mostly by a rising contribution from its wholly-owned subsidiary ASRock, which specializes in entry-level motherboards.
