I prefer the award bioses. I'm on 1015 bios and I can't set the boot order to floppy then DVD then hard drive. Also when you press DEL to enter the bios you have to wait for the entire bios boot procedure to complete before you can change the settings. There were a couple of other things too, but I can't recall them right now. "Jeff" wrote in message ...

I am with John on this bios. I have the P4C880-E Deluxe (1015) also
and I have always had Award bios. It is quite different but managable. I don't think you will regret getting this board. I still can't figure out how to make the system come out of suspend from the keyboard. I have to touch the power button and it springs back to life. Also I had to turn off the voice prompt. It kept saying something that sounded like "UPS power failure" on boot up. "John" wrote in message u... I prefer the award bioses.

Well,
You can't force an IRQ on PCI slots like we did on Award's. Indeed this is a problem when sharing PCI/USB on Asus P4 ML "John" a écrit dans le message de news: ... I prefer the award bioses.

My memory may be confusing the P4C800-E with my P4B533-E, but I think you
need to set a jumper on the MB to provide power to the keyboard when the pc is off or in standby. You also probably want to enable the "power on by keyboard" feature in the BIOS. Also, is your KB USB or PS2? My PS2 KB always wakes up my PC's. "GB" wrote in message om... I am with John on this bios. I have the P4C880-E Deluxe (1015) also and I have always had Award bios.

My KB is a PS2. I am going to check the book and see about the
jumper. I was unaware of a jumper for this. I think "power on by keyboard" was my selection on that bios setting. Seems like I remember changing to that and re-booting then I entered suspend mode and it still would not come back up by the keyboard. "DanO" wrote in message .com...

Make sure the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" box
is checked in the Power management property for the keyboard (Windows Device Manager). Do the same for the mouse. You should be able to wake the computer from standby or hibernation with a click of the PS/2 mouse or the keyboard. IIRC, the BIOS setting governs "wake" from power off. Enable wake for both mouse and keyboard in BIOS and Device Manager and you should be able to use either to wake the system from any condition. Happy waking. "GB" wrote in message om...

Keyboard jumper setting info is on page 2-19. First jumper you should have
set. Check the rest too. "Derek Hawkins" wrote in message ...
