Test Setup:

For testing the K8X800 Pro II, Techwarelabs used the AMD 64 3000+ Newcastle. The AMD64 3000+ is currently the best buy in terms of price for performance, its also currently the most popular of the AMD64 lineup and represents what most consumers would buy if selecting an AMD64 for their machine. The TWL test setup was configured as follows:

Albatron K8X800 Pro II
Crucial PC3200 (DDR400) 1GB (2x512)
Western Digital 800JB
Radeon 9800 Pro 256
DVDRW
CDRW
AMD64 3000+

For the purposes of testing, Windows XP Professional 32 bit was used.

TWL ran the K8X800 Pro II though the following tests:

Quake 3 Demo 001
Prime95
Sisoft Sandra Professional
3DMark 01
PCMark04

Board Package:

The K8X800 Pro II comes with the following:

Firewire Bracket (2 Ports)
USB Bracket (4 Ports)
Game and Com Port Bracket
SPIDIF Bracket
SATA to Molex Power Converter
IDE and Floppy Cables
I/O Faceplate
Manual
SATA Data Cable (2)
WinCinema Pro CD
Motherboard Driver Disk CD

Albatron has included a SATA to Molex Power converter cable which is a nice extra for a package of this price for consumers without the most up to date power supplies. The inclusion of WinCinema Pro is also an added extra.

The motherboard manual is written pretty well and will guide you through the installation and configuration of the board. Albatron has also included a quick foldout and setup guide as well as a motherboard layout case sticker that makes a convenient aid when opening the case.
