I'd never be fooled for a second. The least they could have done was actually take their logo. I mean come on, if you're gonna do something like this, at least do it right.
Sucks for those who bought one of these, but...I don't know how much sympathy I could give to them if they didn't even look the product up on the manufacturer's web site...

ASUS users must feel really insulted by this. I mean, why no cheap Indonesian knockoffs of ASUS motherboards? Or at least Cambodian or something.
I guess nobody wants to produce cheap knockoffs of... well cheap knockoffs. Zing! ![]() Seriously though, I wouldn't mind owning one of these. I mean, it's so kitschy.

Too bad it wasn't Asus saying there were fake ASRock boards being made.

Their midrange/budget boards all have bad reviews but their higher end boards are great.

My Foxconn can hit 380 or so without the ram limitations I have. Personally I dont like them that much anymore. You show me a 775 (or I guess another socket but then I cant use it) that hits 500fsb... ![]() ![]()
