Slightly off topic, but I'm moved to comment on the Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA...
Don't go there!
I bought one as my first venture into mythtv land, and I have not enjoyed
that motherboard. I eventually relegated it to a system I handed over to
my grandkids, and found a better motherboard for my own system. For me,
the worst failing was ACPI shutdown/wakeup simply does _not_ work, not
matter which way you try. I eventually got nvram-wakeup to work after
about 87 reboots, analysing the nvram dumps, and setting up my own nvram
config. Not fun.
Cheers.
