Presentation, Bundle and Manual

ABIT carry over the AA8 presentation style, manual and bundle with the AG8 (surprise surprise!).

The AG8 is yet another µGuru board, the sticker on the box lid confirms it. The small detail box on the bottom left carries no mention of the memory type you can use with the AG8, wherease the AA8 was happy to declare itself a DDR-II-friendy mainboard. Otherwise it's business as usual with the AG8 presentation.

Bundle wise, you get the same as with the AA8. Four port I/O expansion (two USB2.0, two FireWire400), PATA and floppy ribbons, four SATA data cables, the manuals, driver CD and a quick-start guide.

Again, it's nice to see ABIT giving you as many SATA data cables as there are SATA ports, allowing you to install a four disk setup from the start. I'd like to see those SATA cables a little longer than they are currently, but that's my only real bundle complaint.
