As is the norm with the bulk of Abit motherboards, when you open up the package don’t expect
to find much of anything spectacular. The package is nearly identical to that of all other Abit
boards that we have we recently reviewed. The NF7-M comes along with your everyday
package, not too much to be thrilled about. For the NF7-M, we have one ATA-66/100/133
ribbon cable, one floppy ribbon cable, one USB 2.0 expansion bracket with two USB ports, one
rear I/O panel bracket to accommodate for the rear I/O connector placements, and of course,
the motherboard user manual and driver disc. Not much to get too excited about in this
package. I would have liked to see Abit include a second IDE cable to accommodate users with
multiple hard drives or optical disc drives.
One thing I have always loved about Abit is that they take the time to really go over the different
BIOS options that they offer, no matter how high-end or low-end the motherboard is. Many other
manufacturers will only skim the surface or not even cover the BIOS settings at all. Since Abit is
a performance oriented manufacturer, it makes sense for them to spend a great deal of time
explaining the available tweaking options to the end user. The manual also comes in several
languages for universal use. Abit does a nice job covering the different aspects of the driver and
software installations, and several of the other aspects that most other motherboard
manufacturers will overlook.
The driver / software CD houses the drivers and software for the Abit nForce2 line of
