Default Vista Ultimate x64 Installation fails...DVD drive or motherboard?

I used my xbox hd dvd drive to install Vista because it consistently failed
when I used my internal DVD drive (HP 640b, came with PC) on an Asus
motherboard. I saw a forum somewhere claiming that Vista Ultimate x64
installations fail on Asus motherboards...

Not sure if it is true or not. Having Vista installed, I can't install any
programs off my internal DVD drive. I can only view the files and watch
movies with it. Any ideas?

Your link doesn't work for me, but Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed fine on
my ASUS A8N-E board.
So did the RC1 version. So, obviously, that info is false.
