Included Software

In the package we found a CD with VirtualDrive 7.0 (the latest version is 9.0 now), a CD/DVD imaging program that lets you integrate several images into the system at once as virtual drives. RestoreIt 3.0 serves to create restore points of the hard drive. However, the program is already all the way up to Version 6! PC-Cillin 2004 is a popular antivirus program, so it's too bad the board only comes with a 180-day test version. Once again we have the Personal Firewall from Symantec and some modest anti-spam software.

The back of the CD cover also features logos of programs that were neither contained on the CD nor mentioned on the box: Partition Magic 6.0 SE and Drive Image 4.0. We're guessing Soltek changed the standard package at the last minute.

One thing that is clearly labeled on the package is the overclocking tool RedStorm 2, which does not, however, work yet with this Socket-939 motherboard. According to Soltek, it should be functional sometime in the first quarter of 2005.
