SMB2.0 ????????

[doho47]

I'm setting up a new ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe mobo. There's a jumper setting I must change to enable "SMB2.0 PCI devices". A search revealed that SMB is System Management Bus but I haven't the foggiest idea of what the default spec. is, let alone the 2.0 spec. The only PCI card I have going in right now is a SB Audigy ZS2 sound card. This doesn't have anything to do with USB does it? HEEEELLLPPPP!!!!

Ah, NUTS!! I meant to put this in the motherboards section and I don't know how to?if I can change it Sorry about that.

You needn't enable that. I don't know if doing so will cause any problems, but not doing so certainly won't. An SMB device is a PCI card that is designed to monitor the system it is installed in, primarily to make life easier for the sort of people who have multiple racks of headless boxen under their control. I don't think I've ever seen an SMB card used in an ordinary desktop/light workstation setup, outside perhaps of serious corporate IT deployments.
