Does this board I suggested suck because in your opinion all hardware with the name ASROCK on them are bad ? I came across a thread on this board on another Indian forum which may interest you - by the way you do know that ASROCK is an ASUS company ? :)

Asrock 939 Dual SATA 2 is an excellent board.If used a modded BIOS [Which is available] and some Volt Mods,if you are hell bent,this board flies when it comes to overclocking...

Dont underestimate Asrock,it has Asus genes in it as Eazy mentioned.

Asrock boards, as a general rule, Suck, and I am speaking from experience, similar to benq drives, gr8 value for money but sucky reliability.

So which 939 board do you suggest for Bharat ? The ASROCK was the only board I know of that met Bharats requirement and this got a decent review from Anandtech - a site with good honest reviews.

Bharat is going to want to buy a board - suggest one please - I too would like to buy a good CHEAP board in the 3.5k price range which will take my current AGP display card.

I have used my Benq 1640 DVD Writer for a while now and I think it is the BEST optical drive I have ever used - and I have used optical drives since the 2x CD Writers many years back.
