Digitimes is reporting that MSI is looking to get into the LCD and optical drive market.
Declining motherboard profits has pushed manufacturers to diversify in recent years. In the first quarter of 2002, companies such as Asustek Computer, Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) and MSI generated nearly 50% of their revenues from non-motherboard operations. In the second quarter, new businesses are expected to remain the sales driver for the companies.
