Hi there

I plan to do a clean install of windows 7 x 64. Can someone kindly confirm (bearing in mind new sp1) in which order I should do the install?

Should I install sp1 first, then chipset and then graphics drivers followed by lan, audio etc.?

many thanks for your help.

Doesn't really make any difference to be honest.

Personally I would slipstream SP1 into Windows 7 - so everything is installed together. With drivers, I usually do Chipset first, then the rest in whatever order I feel like.
 
I usually grab all the latest drivers I need from the mobo/gfx card website site etc, then after re-installing windows, install the mobo drivers and then the card drivers before connecting it to the internet and letting windows update.
 
wow, quick answers thank you! Regarding chipset drivers, should i use the ones on crossfire disc that came with board as on asus website haven't been updated since last april (2010)

Thanks
