Packaging & Features

The 945G-M3 comes in four different flavors, the 945G-M3  (V1.0a), the 945G-M3  (V1.0b), the 945G-M3  (V3.0) and the board we will be reviewing today - 945G-M3  (V1.0B Viiv).  
The motherboard came in a nicely designed packaged with the bare minimum of parts that you have come to expect: a well written user manual, Utilities CD, IDE & Floppy cables, I/O panel, SATA cable and a SATA power adapter cable. The software included was also very minimal: Adobe Acrobat Reader; WASAY ProMagic Plus, instant system restoration software; WASAY DPU, a document protection/cryptographic program.
