The bundle is important as it determines what you get “out of the box” without additional purchase. As an enthusiast motherboard with a premium price tag, the Gigabyte board comes Two 2-port USB brackets are included bringing the total in the bundle to 8. The inclusion of 8 SATA cables and the two brackets for external SATA with four additional SATA cables means that the user won’t need to purchase them separately, as many boards require. Rounding out the drive cables are a IDE cable and a FDD cable.
 Box  Open Box  Hardware Bundle Manuals are generally useful; if you need to know a specific answer to Frequently Asked Questions and indicate to the new user what they’re getting, what features the board has and a overview of the various BIOS settings on the board. This manual also includes instructions on how to remove that heatsink on the rear of the board, allowing after-market cooling solutions to be used with their specialized backplates.
 Manuals and Driver CD  CPU cover out of box  screw nuts  Rear I/O Gigabyte includes a well laid out poster going over how to install computer hardware with this board. For the Novice, this is a godsend. For the professional this is not necessary. The driver CD contains the drivers to get started with, a DVD Player and Norton’s Internet Security OEM, which provides anti-virus software and a software Firewall. One issue I have with any Driver CD for motherboards is the inclusion of total junk software. In this case, Gigabyte includes Yahoo Toolbar, which is cool if you use Yahoo, but totally useless to anyone with half a clue as to computers. Contents:
