I have a external Plextor DVD-burner. It is connecet through USB/Firewire. Can i set the BIOS so that i can boot from this? And how? I am runnin 1004.
By the way, there are new Marvell Ykon drivers on the ASUS.de homepage.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I know both of these sticks work and they are fine. I had just used them in my previous setup and they ran flawlessly for a year or so.
My problem/issue is this. I can only use one stick of RAM at a time. If I use both my board will tell me that 'Your PC could not boot due to CPU overclocking'. If I use one itll boot just fine under the same config. When I say both sticks dont work in tandem I mean the system shows no video output. I dont get a POST, I get absolutely nothing. Just the announcement that I am overclocking, which I'm not.
I called Asus Tech Support and they told me I need to change the bios config to the timings of the two chips. I have found via searching that 2.5-3-3-7 would be my config, or there abouts.
Problem is the bios has more options than that. I searched and people have asked but I didnt see any definitive response. Here are the options:
CAS
TRC
TRFC
TRCD
TWR
TRWT
TRAS
TRP
TWCL
There are a few more like:
AsyncLat
Read Preamble
2t Command
I dont know what to set those values to. I dont know why my RAM wont work together, I really need both sticks in due to video editing and such. It feels incredibly slow running with 512 instead of 1gb.
Help me please, I am desperate.

Ive tried every timing combination known to mankind and nothing works. Corsair was a big help with this and that, but overall it still doesnt work.

Stupid RETARDS at ASUS - the HD works fine on my PRI_RAID SATA port but not on the stand alone RAID-1 or RAID-2.
Idiots..lets just hope this XP install works now...

How is that ASUS fault? You obviously put the Promise Drivers on the floppy disk, when the SATA1 (none of them say raid i dont know what your talking about there) is for the VIA controller!! Then you fixed the problem by finally plugging it into the correct controller. I used the SATA1 input with the CORRECT drivers on the floppy. Also just to make sure, after it says that No Hard drive is found, you need to press S, insert the disk, and press ENTER. I dont know what you did when you tried to "force" the xp install, or why you would do that, but that could be a part of the problem as well. Try resetting whatever you fooled around with in the BIOS, and just install it the proper way.
This was my first build, and I knew little to nothing about computers, and I set up this board NO problem. This is an excellent motherboard, and if you are making careless mistakes like that, something tells me this is a 100% user error problem. I dont know what drivers you installed, and what controller you are using, but the SATA1 VIA controller goes with the VIARAID drivers, and the PRISATA PROMISE controller goes with the PROMISE drivers. You cant just mix and match, guess and choose, etc...
