I have worked with Asrock boards in the past & never had any real issues.
The only thing I did not like was that in many cases Windows XP was not able to detect the sound card & install drivers of its own during the installation process.
I had to go to the Asrock site & download the drivers.
This really isn't a big deal, however, it tells me that should Asrock decide not to post drivers for newer versions of Windows in the future my OS upgrade options will be limited.
I agree with the first respondant .... go for an Asus, Tyan or even an Intel board.
Unless you a getting a great deal or it has fearures that no other board offers ... why specifically Asrock ?
That is what you must ask yourself.

Asrock P4i65G is fine. If you buy the case, get a quality power supply, don't use the free one that comes with case.

In my opinon...I would stick with either Asus or Intel...Gigabyte is good too...never heard of that one...stick with the best!
