Hmm, I wouldn't mind this as long as its ASUS taking over Gigabyte and not the other way around. I hope it makes ASUS stronger since I've always sworn by their motherboards for stability/performance/features.

The trusty old INQUIRER has the story too:
TAIWANESE MANUFACTURERS Asustek and Gigabyte said they are to establish a joint venture to build Gigabyte-branded motherboards and graphics cards.
The pair will set up a new company, which is expected to start operating at the beginning of 2007. It will be 51 per cent owned by Gigabyte and 49 per cent owned by Asus.
In a statement, the companies revealed the venture would be established with an initial capital investment of US$244m.

Same here. I am a big fan of ASUS and ASUS products. I built my first PC using an ASUS motherboard and it hasn't failed me yet.
