Installation
Installation of the KT133BX is very simple. Since it's essentially jumperless, one need only stuff it in a case, plug it in, turn it on, and jump into the BIOS to make any adjustments.
The software bundle
The installation CD includes the VIA 4-in-1 v4.24 service pack, drivers for the sound-card, a utility for monitoring the hardware under Windows, and a digital rendition of the user's manual. On the 3 other CDs we find Linux Mandrake 7.1, Virtual Drive, and Star Office.
The hardware bundle
The KT133BX also comes with: one 80-pin ATA66/ATA100 cable, and a floppy drive cable.
