am new to this board and need some help with its setup
1. In the BIOS in has the ULTRA DMA set to Disabled by default. Should I enable it and if so, what setting do I use. I have all the latest technology hardware, such as a Maxtor 80 gig 7200rpm, etc.
2. I see that it comes with a cable for the Firewire 1394. I have not installed it yet. I installed XP and in the Device Manager, it shows up. What do I have to do to use, it ? Do I just plugged the cable into the motherboard ?
3. There are two ports on the firewire, and each looks different, why ?
3. I have onboard sound and it came with a Digital Audio connector (SPDIF1) that says I can use it for Digital instead of analog. It only has one jack on it for the speakers. I have the Klipsch 4.1 and the Klipsch needs to be connected to two outputs, one for front speakers and one for back. How do I use this SPDIF connector for my speakers ?
Thanks
