Presentation Bundle and Manual

box

The box is a gold-coloured take on the shiny presentation style it's been using for a while now. K8X800 Pro II's box was green, we get gold here, with a dragonfly. Quiet at the back.

The observant readers will have spotted 1200MHz+ front side bus support, Prescott support and the 3-year warranty, all good things in this reviewer's opinion. If you want to see the back of the box, click here.

Bundle

Opening it up reveals a barren landscape of bundle contents. IDE ribbons, two of. SATA data, two of. USB ports, two of. A single SATA Y-splitter for power to a pair of disks and 4 USB2.0 ports on a single PCI I/O backplane slot round things off. No digital audio output I'm afraid.

Manual CD

A sparse but well written manual, plus driver CD (note the i865 bias, denoting the shared lineage of the i848, i865 and i875 family of bridges), round things off. No added software, just the bare minimum needed to get you up and running. Albatron's 'performance and nothing else' focus carries on into the bundle and presentation too.

Bundle Summary

Bare, functional. Enough said.
