I have an ASUS P4B-E which admittedly, is an Intel P4 Mainboard however YES
It talks when you boot up, Confirming POST success etc.. "Booting from
Operating System" etc..

I disabled it after a couple of days as it pissed me right off.. lol
However, it's good for fault diagnosis.

Check out www.asus.com.tw for similar AMD boards

The latest ASUS motherboards do this. ASUS calls it "POST Reporter".

Many manufacterers are using a talking mainboard. Others are using a series
of LEDS or beeps. Mine uses 2 LED screens to display HEX codes.
Talking is supposed to be the best, but the few reviews I read all state
that they are not as clear or as loud as needed sometimes...
