I see that the parts manufacturers still haven't caught on to the fact that most gamers and enthusiasts would pay more for products without the "Fatality" branding.

A Fatal1ty motherboard makes as much sense as having a Lebron James branded toothbrush. Exactly how does a Fata1ty branded motherboard translate into more fps, higher clockspeed or anything that improves gaming experience. Just a matter of time now before the Fatal1ty branded diapers get released.
