Dear Asrock supporters ,

Asrock Taiwan will shortly announance on their website regarding the SB issue and will follow INTEL instruction for future process.

As local distro for Asrock , we have already infromed dealer that we will do a 1 to 1 exchange once the new chipset is ready .

For Asview , will of course ensure they will enough new chipset MB and do a 1 to 1 exchange with question . Warranty will be base on the NEW MB exchange not on your 1st purchase receipt.

Free installation of PC provided if you are not a DIY person .

As for the 1 to 1 exchange period , look like going to be 6 months period to ensure those ppl not so active HWZ and VRZONE got chance for exchange.

Therefore , assure that we , AsView will look into the comsuner interest first .
