I generally don't use the CDs that come with boards, as by the time I get the board the CD is usually two or three versions old.

If you have the drivers for everything on the MB, unless its supposed to come with some special utility to do some special thing, there's probably nothing you need from it.

Yeah, it's the 'special utility' thingie I was wondering about.

As for install CDs being out of date, I'd have to agree with you there and my first action once the m/b gets into my hands is to hit up the manufacturers website.

I suppose i'll expand more on what I meant. Unless there's some special utility advertised with the thing, like with eVGA's i7 motherboard, which comes with windows-based overclocking tools, there probably isn't anything.

Even then it should be downloadable from the manufacturer website.
