All,

Few queries regarding the necessary software to install for my new build.

Spec as follows:

Asus A8n-Sli Premium mobo
AMD 4400+ Dual Core CPU
2gb corsair ram
sata hdd etc.

My main questions are regarding the software for my mobo. Obviously I have the disk and drivers from the box, but I wanted to install the latest for the board. can someone point these out for me as i'm pretty sure the latest on the disc aint uptodate.

Also, the disc comes with a Realtek sound software for the audio drivers, although can this be replaced using the Nvidia ones from the website? I.e. what is going to be better for the system.

Cheers

I am only running 1 SATA drive, so do I need the sata controllers? As I have managed to boot fine and install WinXP without providing drivers for the SATA drive.

Can someone clear this up for me please!

I occasionally on boot up get a standard Windows load screen, but is does not get past the scrolling blue bar, just keeps going. could this be to do with the SATA controller?

Please advise!!!!!!!
