Copyediting

In some places, there seem to be missing commas; while in other places, there seem to be more commas than required. Therefore, a professional copyeditor is needed — so s/he could take a look and make a few fixes. -Mardus 09:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incompatability

I removed the listing of the ATI radeon 9550 video card being incompatable. I know it is infact compatable becouse im using a radeon 9550 with an Asrock board right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.236.205 (talk • contribs)

Which model is your motherboard? That list is specifically for motherboards using the "AGI" technology, not all ASRock motherboards. — Aluvus t/c 21:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ASROCK had a few motherboards with AGI slots, which are supposed to be alternatives for chipsets without AGP support, though it isn't fully AGP compliant and many cards have issues working properly in the slot, which is probably why an incompatibility note was made. I suggest that it be mentioned in the article because some people may get confused about what an AGI slot is. 68.33.93.69 (talk) 04:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Significance of incompatibility

I'm not massively knowledgable about this, but isn't PCI-Express overtaking AGP as the standard graphics port now?

Perhaps this should be mentioned as current ASRock motherboards support PCI-E. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.91.203 (talk • contribs)

NPOV?

This doesn't seem to be written from a neutral point of view - it is more like a commercial for the company IMO. Molix 12:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this looks suspiciously like an employee-created page. Leemeng (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen a tag before which says "this article reads like an advertisement" rather than the everyday POV tag. That should probably be used instead of what's currently there. mewsterus (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been restored and cleaned up. Ham Pastrami (talk) 19:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is just Ctrl+C Ctrl+V from asrock.com/general/about.asp ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.39.138 (talk) 07:38, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't and wasn't. If you don't like the content, however, feel free to improve it. Ham Pastrami (talk) 08:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and removed large sections of the article that were uncited and non-NPOV. 71.1.235.109 (talk) 13:10, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's still (or again?) a commercial and needs delousing. 71.162.91.117 (talk) 13:50, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up some obviously commercial grandstanding in the last section. Wdeviers (talk) 03:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Asus/ASrock

After doing a little digging it seems there might be a concentrated campaign by Asus/ASrock to deny to deny any connection with each other and to begin moving away from the Asus name due to recent bad PR. I find it strange that this article makes no mention at all of Asus and has been heavily edited by a number of SPA's. 71.1.235.109 (talk) 13:23, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
