I here two short beeps when first powering up or rebooting before the ASUS
splash screen appears. The machine appears to boot normally, but what could
be causing this ? Is this normal ??

Thanks

I bet you that you have two USB devices hookup to your computer. One beep
for each device. Yes it is normal.
 
I believe that some of the newer Asus boards beep once for each connected
USB device, for some reason..

I have two USB devices and I only get one beep.

Then again, my speech reporter doesn't work either.

I wonder what someone having 8 devices would hear? 8 beeps? Wouldn't that
sound a tad annoying?

That "some reason", btw, is that it's a feature of the AMI BIOS.

I reckon if you had all the USB headers loaded with as 127 devices each, the
motherboard plays 'Popcorn'

update your bios and it fixes the problem. asus came out with that fix not
long ago
 
I have both P4P800 DLX and P4C800-E DLX, both beeps 3 times at booting,
no matter whether I have USB external or not.

It is just a signal of AMI BIOS that it is working, nothing else.
