(I highly doubt that, just wondering).
TIA
Answer #1
If it cant it simply doesnt have usb in the preferred boot order manager settings. If thats the case there is a few programs including the listed one, which are burned to cd (presume that would be in the boot order manager), and load its own boot order manager so you can then boot from usb.

Hello,
You can check the bios and see if there is a configuration for that sort of thing, you would likely see it by itself with something like “Boot From USB” or directly in the boot order list, or refer to the manual(if you still have it).
BTW:It looks quite old , the chances of it to be supporting the required feature may not be that high, but hey look at the bright side you do have an AGP slot.

@Both: I was just bored to assemble the parts and I have a second spare and its processor so I don’t know which one to pick. What am I supposed to do with the AGP slot??

you might want to flash the bios, check if it has the latest bios

just retired my last socket478 about a year ago
pretty sure it boot from usb, but it was an intel chipset, not a via

put a video card in it !!
think he was saying it’s a better board ‘cuz it got 1, instead of a pci slot or on chip video
