ASRock uses their standard green box that virtually all of their motherboards come in to house their motherboard. The front of the box has a picture of two spaceships flying through space as well as the main features of the board. The box says it's Microsoft Vista Hardware Ready with High Definition Audio. Note it says DirectX 9.0 VGA as one of the features but you need a 9xxx series from ATI or a 5xxx series from NVIDIA as the minimum to support it as the board does not have onboard video. Another sticker shows Crossfire Ready.

The bundle for the ASRock 775Xfire-eSATA2 board is comprehensive for what the board supports. Four SATA cables means that you can fully use the board's available SATA ports without additional purchase, and the inclusion of an e-SATA cable means that using the external SATA port is as easy as plugging the device in.
