Got my P5K-Dlx set up. No floppy but flash to 0311 bios with ez flash/usb key was smooth. Setup bios a little and then XP installed so fast to my raptor on one of the sata ports. Just adding drivers now, is there anything worth using off the Asus DVD that came with the board?
edit - I mean the asus extras. I don't want a bunch of asus bloatware if I can avoid it.

Run the Asus DVD. When the dialog pops up select the "ASUS Install - Drivers Installation Wizard" and then the "Customize" option. You'll notice that all of the drivers on the DVD are newer than what Vista installed. The driver that controls the "SM Bus System" is the "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility" which Vista didn't install.

Thnks for the info eva as usual faultless.
Got my board running today. now running orthos @ my last commando 24/7 of 9x400 @2:3 which i hope is my starting point.
On the commando have been running matrix raid 0 with 4x80gb hitachi sata 2 drives. had seen a few pps having issues with raid . when i plugged in all my hd i thought i was going same way, although all 4 drives where detected only 3 were seen in bios as being part of the array. fortunately i keep asmall xp install on my data drives , booted to that. Once i'd updated the matrix drive manager to the version on the asus cd & rebooted, my original arrays where found & i was able to happily boot & update that install.
Why updating an xp programme should work better than new drivers i'm not sure but hell it works fior me
