The XP4 comes in a simple white cardboard white box with a handle on top for easy handling. The system is wrapped in some basic Styrofoam pieces for shock absorption. You get the case, a heatsink, and a small cardboard box full of accessories. Here are pictures of the box and it’s components.

The XP4 uses the Intel 845GV which supports only up to DDR266 memory. Another major difference between the 845GV and the bigger sibling – the 845GE – is the core graphics speed. The 845GV is at 200MHz – slower than the 266 core frequency of the 845GE which results in lower graphics scores later on in the benchmarks.

It’s fairly clear that the XP4 is a low budget product – the included manual is rather skimpy. Don’t expect in-depth coverage into the system with this manual. It comes with just enough information to get you going.

IWILL only includes one IDE cable even though you’ll realistically need two IDE cables. Luckily we’ve got a ton of IDE cables here at home but it’s something to remember.

Though the system supports USB 2.0, you will not find any IEEE 1394/FireWire support. This is rather unfortunate since in order to add FireWire support you’ll need to use a PCI card. Though there are more and more products supporting USB 2.0, you can not use devices such as digital camcorders with the XP4 without adding FireWire support. I for one wouldn’t be able to use the iPod – truly a real bummer.
