EVGA nForce4 133-P4-NF51-AX Motherboard Review :: The Retail Bundle

Package Contents

• EVGA nForce4 for Intel SLI motherboard Part #133-P4-NF51-AX
• Game Port
• 4 Rounded SATA cables
• 2 IDE cables
• SATA Driver Floppy disk
• Driver CD
• Manual

The bundle on the EVGA 133-P4-NF51-AX is enough to get you started, but nothing out of the ordinary. The inclusion of all four SATA cables is a welcome addition, as many manufacturers will include only one or maybe two cables. Rounded IDE cables for the CD-ROM or IDE drives is another thing I like to see in a motherboard bundle. Some manufacturers will force you to make a SATA driver floppy off the Driver CD, but EVGA includes the SATA driver on a floppy. No need to hunt for a floppy disk as its included. Rounding out the hardware bundle is a Game Port bracket.

Driver CD+User's Manual

Software wise the motherboard comes with the drivers and that's all. Most motherboard manufacturers include antivirus software or a hard drive partitioning program, but EVGA decided not to. Offsetting the software is their excellent support. EVGA is the only motherboard manufacturer to back their boards with a Lifetime warranty for the retail motherboards. In other words, if you have a problem with the motherboard a few years after purchase it is still under warranty. Most motherboards come with a one or two year warranty, with 3 being the norm. The second thing I'd like to applaud EVGA for doing with their motherboards is Toll-Free Technical Support 24/7.
