ASRock boards used to come with a free game thta was quite neat :P.. They tend to use cheaper sourced materials (capacitors and such).. If your building a basic box I would think it would be okay, but support for it might be hard / non-existent.

The Asrock mb I have was very popular back in its day because it supports both AGP and PCI-E. I've used both types of video cards in it with no issues. I'm typing this to you from that PC right now and I have Vista installed on it.

No exactly enthusiast boards, I think they are aimed at the replacement and white box markets. After some surprising reviews I bought a 4Core1600P35-wifi recently to use with an orphaned Q6600 a fairly impressive board for the price, solid caps, other than the power plug location and shortage of fan plug-ins, pretty well thought out. Takes both DDR2 & DDR3 memory. Reasonable overclockability, the B3 stepping is running at 2883Mhz 24/7 thus far. A quad on a budget :-) I'd have no problem recommending them, something I cannot say about certain other mass produced low-end manufacturer's boards. Marcus |
