yes, Asrock is a daughter, in their 'how to build a computer' video, they even use Asus graphic cards, BUT: their support is better. They regularly release updated bios', and when I had a problem with my elderly scsi controller, I got an answer in less than 36h, which totally solved the problem. They officially don't support linux, but when some people had problems with the K7S8X and some knoppix versions, they released a bios, that fixed the problem in a few days. So they are good guys in my book ;) -- [email protected] mailing list
