Memory / motherboard head games

"Normally, there is no beep during POST unless you installed an USB device. The beep sound means the number of usb devices present. For example: You will hear two low beeps if you install two USB devices. However, you will hear one loud beep if no hard disk is connected to the motherboard.For users who used to debug from beeps or POST codes, we have a smarter solution --- ASUS POST Reporter. It gives you voice POST messages to inform you of system events and boot status. (Please note that only some ASUS motherboards have built-in ASUS POST Reporter feature)"::(: Now why can't they put that in the printed manual instead of the list of what errors the beeps mean Bottom line... I've got 4 USB items plugged in :-) When I heard three beeps before, I had 3 USB items.
