Hey all,
Has anyone managed to boot from a USB key on this
mobo?
I tried it with BIOS 1004, it stopped just after
post, and went no further! (I've got a transcend USB key).
I know you can boot from the USB key , coz it works on this PC I'm on
(P4P800).
I then updated the BIOS to 1005.001, it went as far as the PCI listing, and
stopped! And said something about it not being a hdd.
Well, I KNOW it isn't a hdd.
I tried every option under the boot menu, to see which one would work, and
none of them worked.
Also, has anyone, who uses this mobo, noticed the slowness, once you get
into XP (If u use XP).
Its pretty damn slow, doing anything at all.
There's like a 5-10 sec delay, before it decides to actually run / load a
program.
The other PC here (the P4S8x-x) has 2 ide 20 GB hdd's, (using an 80 wire ide
cable), 1GB ram, a modem, and a tuner.
That's it. And has a 400W PSU in it. Which should
be plenty to run the system.
I've read on different sites, it may help if the CPU mhz is changed to 166.
(default is AUTO).
Since this mobo doesn't support 400 DDR ram (thats whats in the case). And
also changing the memory chipset clock mode to Asynchronous. Default is
Synchronous.
Its helped a bit BUT not that much. So, if anything knows how to make this
thing faster, / has any tips, I'll be grateful!
Cheers
