Default Disabling POST memory Check on 6VXE7+

Despite thoroughly searching the manual and Internet for this info, I can't
for the life of me figure out how to disable the POST memory test upon boot
up. My computer has a GA-6VXE7+ motherboard flashed with BIOS version FA.

I tried searching the BIOS for a quick boot / Quick power on self test
function, but I can't seem to see anything remotely resembling it in the
BIOS.

At the moment, My computer has 512 MB of PC-100 RAM and each time it
cycles/test through all 512MB of RAM 3 times which takes almost an eternity.
Of course if I'm not busy I can just sit there for about 15 seconds until it
does reach the memory testing stage and press the ESC key.

Normally I switch on my computer and go and do something else while waiting
for it to boot into Windows 2000, but when I return it's usually still
sitting there cycling through the memory. This wasn't an issue back when I
only had 128MB of RAM in the system, but now I have 512MB.

Thanks for any help
