i have this minor problem that when i hit the power button it takes about 10 seconds for the monitor to come on and then start to boot... i already have the latest bios.. i have heard of a few of the reviews mentioning something about slow boot.. i think that is what they mean because the OS loads perfectly fast.... anyone with this board have any ideas.... mabey it is something selected in bois?
 
My Dragon Plus! takes that long too. Its a long POST, with three steps (the three beeps comfirm a good test) then it goes to the BIOS screen, RAID/ATA Detection (if enabled), and finally boots the OS. A 10 sec POST on that board is normal

yea, i have soyos on both computers in the house. They start up rather long before the monitor pops up.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
