Included with the Sapphire motherboard is a 1394 PCI rear panel adapter with two ports, a SPDIF-in/out PCI rear panel adapter, a single PATA cable, a floppy cable, a single SATA cable, 3 CD's, an I/O cover, and the manual. Look at the I/O cover, notice anything unusual? The 3 CD's are nothing to get excited about; 1 CD contains the drivers, one contains some cheap backup, virus, and privacy software that I would never install on any computer I own, and the third is a CD of game demos. Notice that I did not mention a rear panel adapter for the USB. Pretty slim pickin's here...

Now, after a long wait, the board is finally ready. As it looks right now, Sapphire did a great job with it. The motherboard is very fast, even when not overclocked. There are a load of options available in the BIOS to tweak every little setting of the system. For new users these options can be set to 'auto' to let the board handle them automatically. The range of available options is exemplary, so is the manual which explains almost all of them...
