Installation
As most of the work is done from the BIOS (save for a few jumpers that do not necessarily have to be changed from their default positions), installation of the TI6NBFV+ is child's play.
The software bundle
The installation CD contains the 4-in-1 VIA Apollo Pro133 drivers, DirectX6.1 drivers, the System Monitoring utility v4.10b for monitoring the hardware, and Realtek 8139 LAN drivers.
