The Albatron's BIOS "Safe Ratio Mode" allows the board to start up a 04B stepping CPU with a 14x multiplier.
The board is equipped with a Gigabit LAN controller from Broadcom, and a 100 Mbit controller from VIA.
A look inside the package is a bit disappointing. No, nothing fell out in transport; Albatron is just going a little light on the accessories this time.
