dont they teach you this kind of stuff in a+ cert class?!


anyways, i would go fresh windows install, sp2, motherboard/chipset drivers, whatever other drivers you have, and then do the latest video drivers last.

 

[wilson502]

they dont ask that stuff specifically.

 

[wilson502]

im assuming install dx9c before the video drivers.

 

[rancor]

yes that comes with sp 2

Make sure to restart after EVERY install and also only install 1 driver at a time. Defrag after all that is done too. Just to make sure your performance is top notch. Why is this in the video card forum?

 

[wilson502]

k, got ya.

 

[wilson502]

because my video card performance has been poor since ive installed it.
