I knew it was something like that... this board has a few issues... but I never had a problem booting from a USB stick.

I did have that weird issue where it would only boot if the USB KB/MOUSE were plugged into a certain USB slot. (The top most USB slot towards the bottom of the MB if IIRC.) I remember reading about people having all sorts of issues and I just thought that I was lucky. That is until I moved things and plugged into a different USB port. GADS... I was scared until I figured it all out.

Anyway now I'm on a new Gigabyte board. Sadly for some strange reason it is about 500 points lower for the GPU score in 3dMark Vantage than the A79A-S. (Both had to run at x8 for the PCIe.)

Anyway... wouldnt' you know I'd wait for months for a bios and they'd release one a few days after I bought a new MB. (I might try the A79A-S in one of my other cases laying around waiting to be put together.)
