The motherboard Driver disk Gigabyte sent with their sample board was a generic DVD-RW disc with the drivers on it. Gigabyte usually includes anti-virus software and the DVD came with Norton’s Internet Security suite and a DVD Player. It is a simple software bundle but effective for a new motherboard owner as security and DVD playback are two types of programs anyone can use.
