It is warm spring. The annual grand IT CeBIT is going on in Hannover, Germany. Great news has just come from CEBIT that Legend QDI  PlatiniX2D  Mainboard has been awarded a grand prize by Holland's renowned IT website  www.hardware.info  during the CEBIT!

Early in the morning of March 16, two important guests visited Legend's exhibition stand. They were the chief editors of Holland's renowned hardware website-www.hardware.info: Koen Crijns (in charge of publication) and Robert van Weersch who had made this special trip to grant the prize to Legend QDI!

www.hardware.info is well recognized for making remarks on hardware to the broad final users in Europe and has established a high prestige in the industry. At the beginning of this CeBIT, the website made a special commentary on INTEL P4 DDR Mainboard and granted the silver prize to PlatiniX2D-A Mainboard of Legend QDI after considering all the mainboard products that adopt INTEL 845D chipset. There were fourteen models of mainboard including Asus, ABIT, Aopen, ECS, EpoX, Gigabyte, MSI and Via. Legend QDI's PlatiniX 2D-A displayed its unique strength among a number of brand-name mainboards for its stable performance, competitive price, exquisite workmanship and QDI's six latest innovative technologies equipping it. In fact, Legend QDI's PlatiniX 2D-A Mainboard fitted with an Intel 845 chip has passed the strict Intel APAC test long before this and has won the "HARDWARE" Prize given by the well-known IT magazine PCGH of Germany. The two leaders of the website-www.hardware.info said their website is known for strictness and pays particular attention to the property, function and price-performance ratio of hardware products. Legend QDI's PlatiniX 2D-A well deserves this silver prize.

Legend QDI is one of the world's five major mainboard manufacturers, with rich experience in both domestic and overseas operations and possesses its own research and development team with an annual investment reaching nearly ten million Hong Kong Dollars. Legend QDI has seven laboratories and one production base, which covers an area of 30,000M2 with complete production lines. Currently it is also equipped with seven latest state-of-the-art automated assembly lines which can manufacture up to 500,000 mainboards each month.

In pursuit of "making Legend into a high-tech and international enterprise", Legend QDI Mainboard has made its show at CeBIT in Germany, the world's largest IT trade show, for fourteen years in succession. Before this event, at all the grand international exhibitions (such as CeBIT in Germany and COMDEX in the United States), Legend QDI has released a number of innovative technologies developed on its own, which showed its strong research & development strength.

In 1996 at COMDEX 96 Las Vegas of the United States, Legend QDI was the first to release SpeedEasy technology, which caused a sensation in the international mainboard circles. Legend's SpeedEasy technology later became a universally adopted standard for the jumperless function in this industry all over the world.
