Intel MINI-ITX board - D201GLYL & D201GLY

from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/usbcompat.mspx

BIOS setup option Typical default setting How setting affects USB keyboard and mice

Enable/disable USB host controller - Disabled

USB keyboard and mouse will not work during boot phases.


Enable/disable legacy USB support - Disabled

USB keyboard should work during POST (except for some early BIOS implementations). However, neither USB keyboard nor USB mouse will work during other phases controlled by the BIOS.

hmm.. i guess the only way to find out would be to try....

Regarding slow boot / post times another person pointed out that disabling legacy USB in the bios improved boot times. I can confirm this. Post times ranged anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes on my system. Once i turned off legacy USB support my post times were cut down to a few seconds. This board is working very nicely now.

after doing that, this board flies.

i also disabled some other things in the "boot" section of the BIOS, such as network booting, etc... basically anything i don't need.

yep, I love my ugly-2. I'm listening to music by the time I hit the end of the driveway (resuming roadrunner from hibernate). Cons=zero for me.

I must also say that this board is really good, cheap and fast enough.

I am running the D201GLY2 with 1gb ram. This is my second build and this board is almost as fast on boot as my old P4 2.8 setup with 512mb ram from hibernate. From hibernate its about 20-22 secs. The part that kills be is the bios. I am still trying to speed up bios but its taking 15 secs to get to the resuming windows screen, then less than 5 secs to music from there.

On a cold boot it takes about 30-40 secs on the D201GLY2 compared to under 25 with my P4

Overall I am very impressed with this board. Its so cheap and so fast. I experience no lag and onboard video is not bad!

i updated to the latest bios with the windows utility and no problems here.

Do you have a link to this tool???

I just bought this board together with 1gb of Ram. Very excited to see how it runs compare to my M10000.
Specially using a SATA harddrive

Why would you need 2 gigs of RAM?
No real gain for anything a car PC would be doing.
