I was just given an ASUS P4B533 motherboard and P4-1700 processor....(server upgrade). Set the thing up and No Usb action at all....I am trying to ungrade the BIOS to support the USB ports on the board but cant seem to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

go to asus.com and search for downloads for your motherboard. download the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility and install.

Make sure the usb is enabled in the bios settings,
some computers are disabled by default.

edit: they also have your audio drivers for the on board sound card

Upgrade your OS, an older version of Windows XP doesn't support USB

It was the problem when I couldn't get my onboard USB port working

You may need some USB hub drivers:

SiS USB Registry Patch (Windows XP)

Fixes the undetectable problem with SiS USB controller on Windows XP. Release patch file for the USB devices sometimes undetectable issue on Windows® XP with SiS USB controllers

SiS USB Registry Patch - Usbdetect.exe - 54KB - 12/17/2001

some of the windows updates address this as well
the USB 2.0 drivers were released after service pack 1

It would seem that the motherboard maker
SHOULD make the drivers available

I didn't see any on the asus site
