Asrock is Asus?

[fac_29]

Is this true? Now i've read this quite a few times in different places. They say its a brand they released to try and break more into the budget and oem market. I can kind of see a connection with the names, As-us and As-rock

Surely they could all get prosectued then for false advertising if what they are saying is false?
