1. I have had ONE RMA in over a year of using a variety of different model Asrock boards. I build 5 to 10 PC's a week.

2. I have found that for running/installing Vista, Asrock EXCELLS in every area needed for simple day in day out computing and multi tasking.

3. They have severa AMD boards that are IDEAL HTPC boards and have yet to need any technical or warranty help from them regarding any HTPC set ups.

4. Have built several "High End" gaming systems using Asrock and have found they will overclock MILDLY well, are extremely stable and fully reliable.

They are what they are. There is no need to compare them to an "enthusiast" board as that is not the market they were designed for... but for the money they offer decent performance and features that some high end boards do not even have. One of my favorite Asrock boards, the 780GXE is a fantastic little board that absolutely rocks with a quad 9950 and dual 4870's... you can easily put a system together like this one with 4 gb RAM, a 1TB HDD and a decent burner in a mid line case for around 600 bucks and they will play pretty much ANYTHING on the market right now.

So fellas, I own no stock in this company and really have no dog in the fight here but wanted readers of our forums to know that Asrock is a decent product for its price range.
