Thanx Acruxksa--- I got the Asus MB today & got it up and running. I had an issue early on...yep, Boot Disc Error. I went into the main page of the Bios, & there were no IDE drives listed AGAIN! I checked voltages & I found 3.2v on the 5 volt side of the plug. MAN I was torqued! I decided to unplug everything and restart just powering one hard drive. That was fine and voltage was 5.01 and steady. Then I brought the SATA drive online & restarted...just fine & voltage nominal at 5.0. I continued this until I booted with everything, almost. Everything was fine until I tried it with the floppy drive. Back to 3.20. Since I've left the floppy unplugged it's been rock steady on 5.01, Idle system or light CPU usage. It really doesn't dip much below 4.97 or 4.96. *sigh* I'll keep a volt meter on it for a day or two just to make sure. I can live without a floppy drive. I can get them for cheap if I find I really do need it, but I see new systems being sold without them. I think buying the new MB was probably not needed, but I stepped up to a board that I can upgrade a bit in the future. I had already maxed out the old one.
I'll keep ya posted.....
