For the first 8 months of 2003 Asustek shipped about 16.5 million motherboards and about 850-950 thousands of notebooks.
Elitegroup revenues reduced by about 24.4% in August mainly due to the low seasonal motherboard demand in USA and Europe. Comparing to July, motherboard shipments dropped by 7.6% down to 1.3 million.
MSI informed that its motherboard shipments grew to 1.2 million that exceeds July sales by 10%. At that graphics card sales made about 600,000.
