Other Features

Fortunately Gigabyte does not "think cheap" on voltage regulator circuits. M61PME-S2P uses a four-phase design voltage regulator, using ferrite chokes and solid aluminum capacitors. For a better understanding of the importance of such design, read our Everything You Need to Know About the Motherboard Voltage Regulator Circuit tutorial.

The accessories set that comes with the board is the usual for low-cost motherboards: user manual, driver CD, case back plate, in addition to the floppy drive, ATA and SATA cables.
