Package
The box with the ASUS P5K motherboard is inside a dust-cover:
One page tips up, and the user can get a brief idea of all ASUS' proprietary technologies.
Package bundle
- Motherboard;
- User's Manual in English;
- User's guide on ASUS WiFi Solo;
- 1x software, drivers & third-party software DVD;
- One ATA-133 cable, one FDD cable;
- 4x SerialATA cables + a power supply adapter (2 connectors);
- A plate for 2 additional USB 2.0 ports and a Firewire port;
- Wi-Fi aerial;
- 1x ASUS corporate logo sticker;
- Kit of additional connectors;
- A cap to the rear panel of the case.
Despite the high retail price and status of the motherboard, the number of standard components is not enough to implement all the features. In particular, the package bundle includes merely 4 SerialATA cables (of 8 required), the only power adapter with two connectors (6 more, including two external, are required).
Also missing is one more plate for a couple of USB 2.0 ports; the bundle includes only one plate for two USB and one Firewire ports. On the other hand, there is a special additional connector (Quick Connection Kit) to which all the cables from the housing can be plugged in (the "Power", "Reset" buttons, a cable from the "HDD" indicator, etc.), and then plug them in to the board with a single motion.
We should note that the Wi-Fi module is installed right on the board and has a special connector to plug in an aerial (the connector is brought over to the rear panel). The aerial itself is there in package bundle.
There was nothing to complain about in the user's manual, both in the brochure on Wi-Fi installation and setup. The bundled DVD contains a complete kit of all the required drivers and ASUS' proprietary utilities (including the drivers for 32- and 64-bit Windows versions, drivers for Linux and MS Vista).
Besides, the disk contains Norton Internet Security 2006 (including a version for Vista - 2007.1), InterVideo WinDVD 8 Trial, DVDCopy5, MediaOne Gallery, Ulead PhotoImpact, CyberLink PowerBackup 2, Corel Snapfire Plus.
