Installation

Installation of the AX64 Pro is nothing special. Thanks to its jumperless design, there isn't much to do. Simply place the board in its casing, plug it in, turn it on, and make a quick pass through the BIOS to finalize any adjustments.



The software bundle

The installation CD includes: Via 4-in-1 patches, a hardware monitoring utility, a program for flashing the BIOS, Adobe Acrobat Reader, a CD version of the manual, and a bonus package which includes Norton Antivirus, Norton Crashguard, and a very interesting utility called "Product Quality Assurance" which benchmarks your board's components, in order to determine whether it is functioning correctly.
