Ok, there is a (what I call) a 2nd page that shows the additional IDE controller (nForce5 only has a single controller within the chipset) and the single Optical drive attached. There is also a "Press any key to continue" message with a five (?) second countdown (slowing the boot process up).
Can that be changed?

there may not be options for that one. and if there are, it would probably be in the raid options... those are the things that usually slow down the boot on drive detection.
