You are indeed, as ever, correct Gordon.  Thankyou. There is an option to
select hard drive priority which I missed.  More haste less speed as they
say.  I like the Asus mobo overall.  As I've said before, I had real problems
getting it's intel based audio to work, but did in the end and it only had 1
ps2 socket for either mouse or keyboard.  I had to buy a USB mouse.  My fault
for not reading the spec close enough.  I think maybe 2 glasses of wine
should be the cut off point when placing orders.

I've used Asus mobos since the mid-90's. Not sure why - maybe it was because my employer at the time recomended them. I've never had a serious issue with them.

And some trivia with regard to routers from another thread and mobos... - I once built an Asus P100 with 3 10/100 Ethernet cards in it to act as a router - 128MB of expen$ive RAM. It was running FreeBSD and Gated. It connected our network to the LINX and to a rather large media company who's name has 3 letters, 2 the same...) It's busiest day: 6th September '97...
