New box does not load BIOS

Hello Miah:

I did not try a pci video card.  Turns out I don't own one.  If
anyone has an extra one collecting dust and can bring it to tonights
meeting, it would be appreciated.  Will return after the test.  

I could have gotten the 9200 as a PCI card.  What are the tradeoffs?
I had no idea about the issue, so got AGP over the PCI because I
thought a slot devoted to video would be better.

There is a discussion group devoted to asus motherboards, so I have
hope for a reply from there (alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus).
