ASUS decided to go with a minimalist approach to the hardware bundle for the ASUS M2R32-MVP board. Two SATA cables, a SATA power cable is good enough for half of the available SATA ports on the board. The 2-port USB bracket brings the total included with the board to 6, a respectable number. The Q-Connector is a cool idea, allowing the user to extend the FP IO to allow users to use shorter cables from the case and easier access to the connectors.

Driver CD+ Manual

Utilities

PC Probe
The Driver CD contains the drivers for the motherboard. They should be installed in sequence from top to bottom. I wish ASUS had included an Install-All application, as I prefer that to installing 8 drivers. Also on the driver CD are ASUS's motherboard apps, including ASUS's PC Probe II, ATI's WEBPAM, ASUS Update (to update the drivers and BIOS with the click of a button), Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c, Norton's Internet Security 2006 and the Marvell Yukon Virtual Cable Tester. Norton's Internet Security includes Norton's Anti-Virus program and their Personal Firewall. Marvell's VCT program detects if your LAN cable is functioning and attached to the RJ-45 port.
