Models based on VIA chipsets have always occupied a small but permanent place among ASUS system boards. Even at times when for some reason boards on VIA chipsets were scarce, those wishing to get one had a good chance of finding something suitable among ASUS series. In case of Socket AM2, though, there is no problem finding system boards based on VIA chipsets. And lowering the price is most likely out of the question in this case, because it is already moderate for a discrete chipset with good functionality.
