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 |
| 18 |

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 |
