Would you agree with the following order sequence?

XP Pro
Service Pack 2
DirectX 9.0c December '05 update
ULI integrated 2.13 drivers
Realtek audio drivers
AMD dual-core driver
M$ dual-core fix
Nvidia Forceware drivers

Thanks in advance

I normally go:

OS, Service Packs + updates, mobo drivers, cpu drivers then the rest of the drivers.

Check out the sticky... plenty of info in there too

I've never noticed any difference from installing drivers/updates first or last etc.

I haven't really. Only reason I do it in the order I do is mostly security. The more updates I can get on my PC before installing other software the better.
