The big money win is when LinuxBIOS is the default and the other one is blank, then the board will cost $10-$15 less. (License fee Gigabyte pays for the Phoenix BIOS.)
? Are you saying the per-board royalty is *that* much? I thought it was about 10% of that - $1 or $2?
I don't know how much Gigabyte pays, maybe they have a good deal with Phoenix, maybe Phoenix charges less, but another BIOS vendor charged $15 regardless of volume. I was shocked too.
