Asrock has been around long enough not to make any crap by intent, so as long as overclocking isn't top priority I wouldn't hesitate to buy Asrock if they had a card that otherwise suited my desires.

FYI Asrock is a subsidary of Asus
The major selling points of that particular mobo is that it can take both AGP and PCI-E graphics cards (and handles it better than most other boards AFAIK) and later on there will be an add-in board to support AMD's new socket.
