For a company with a focus on silicon chips this is no small task, so while VIA began selling their own motherboards they relied on partnerships with other companies to make them.
So while there are a handful of large and well known manufacturers making VIA P4X266A motherboards, they are only sold to the public by VIA, and are for all intensive purposes VIA motherboards.
This was done because most of the big boys didn't want to risk upsetting Intel which had gone to court to try and squash the fledgling chipset which brought DDR to the Pentium 4 ahead of all other chipets. Even now, with the host of P4-DDR chipsets on the market, only a few smaller players have openly accepted VIA's P4X266A chipset into their mainboard offerings.
