Notes

Although the SA6R ships with four DIMM sockets, the motherboard only supports up to 512MB of memory. This is a limitation of the 815 chipset, and is the case with all 815 motherboards currently available on the market. In the past, ABIT has equipped some of their motherboards with a Texas Instruments data buffer set to support additional memory but chose not to with the SA6R.

Another feature you'll notice is the six PCI slots with no ISAs. Unlike the KT7-RAID (which offers no onboard audio), the SA6R does support this feature. Fortunately, this can be disabled in BIOS.

Included with the SA6R's packaging are the instruction manual, 2-port USB bracket, and both 40-pin and 80 conductor IDE cables as well as a floppy cable.
