COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 ASRock showing us that you don't have to be rich to have a good system these days by showing off their P45 and nForce 730a motherboards.

First up is the top of the line soon to be released Intel P45 board supporting up to FSB 2000MHz with DDR3 (four slots) and two slots for your old DDR2 if you are in between upgrades.

Their top of the line AM2 board, the AMD 790GX supporting AMD's Overdrive Extreme technology and Hybrid crossfire.

A step down from the 790GX but a post worthy mention is the 780 series AM2 board from ASRock featuring scaled down features but including an all solid capacitor design.
