Update : DFI Goes After Imitations; Buyers Beware
DFI issued a warning earlier this week about
imitation of their
motherboards in Indonesia. Ironically, DFI doesn't even carry those imitated
models; MCP78V and MCP68PV. We learned that an Indonesian company by the name of
TIGA is said to be distributing these imitations using DFI branding and the OEM
maker of these boards is J&W from China. DFI has already contacted the alleged
party to cease and desist the act and have commissioned the legal department to
take action to stop the authorized behavior.
Update : J&W
today issued a statement clarifying the whole situation.
