FWIW I have about the same setup and it works fine here.  How much RAM
are you using?  I saw a thread on this list a week or two ago where
someone had some trouble using 2x512 MB.  I have 2x256 DDR400 CL2,5
but have also successfully run with CL3-memory (same size and speed).

(I did see some strange "warm boot" behaviour before upgrading my BIOS
though, it's quite possible that I had the boot hanging after the disk
had been detected.  ASUS claims to have fixed something related to
this in december -04 if I remember correctly.)
