The assembly lines are a lot cheaper, and 99% of the components are the
same. Plus the Universal Health Care system for Taiwan is a lot cheaper and
more efficient than the GM environment.
On a more serious note, I wonder what portion of nVidia output goes to
manufacturers like Dell who have so many self-competing models that they
probably need GPU solutions with micro-differences.

As for me, I'm waiting for a 10 X capability improvement before I upgrade my
graphics boards (photo-realistic 3D or nothing.)
