Ok i will leave alone.

I assume the same goes for the BIOS, don't update if nothing broken !

Might seem a daft question, where do I find the chipset driver I have on my system. Trying to find out whether needs updating.

ASUS P5KC - MB

Also my PCI standaard ISA Bridge driver seems old....

OK 9C it is as I don't fancy going to Vista just yet

OK I have a download of Direct X 9C

Can I put Direct X 10 on my PC.

I have Windows XP Home, I dont have Vista !

MB - Asus P5KC
GC - GT8800

OMG.

Well start building tomorrow, and i will keep my fingers crossed.

Changing the subject slightly,

Tell you what I cant find for love nor money is GoBack 4. Not even as a download on the...

Now i have Go ahead 3, and i see that Rob reccomenfs this after loading XP.

Question, why isn't XP's restore good enough for me. I normally set a restore point when im about to load new software....

How long ago was that. Have they changed since then.

Plus, whats wrong with them. Should i stick with it, surely its good enough for what i want.

No it came with a CD, but I have to create a floppy from the CD re the raid drivers.

Why, you included it in my build spec you did.

Plus I thought Antec always supplied good PSU's with their cases !!

I am now getting really confused !!

To quote assembly guide:-

Motherboards like the MSI K8N Neo Platinum that support SATA hard drive should come with a floppy disk that contains the SATA...

My MB manual says.

A floppy disk with theRAID driver is required when installing Windows XP OS on a hard drive disk drive that is included in a RAID set.

As I only intend to use one hard drive...

For case what about the Sonata III, it is a good case, and has a good PSU with it as well.

No that makes good sense, I am curious to see what it changes so will make a note of the changes it makes.

TY

I note that Rob in his assembly instructions states that when you are about to install XP you need to get your drivers for raid which for his motherboard are on a diskette that come with the...

In Rob's assembly instructions it states that when you are doing the first boot, to enter the BIOS and load the fail safe defaults.

Is it necessary to do that, I was going to get all the settings...

OK I see the difference.

I was thinking of the Asus P5K3 Deluxe WiFi AP, which has DDR3 only, the Asus P5K Deluxe WiFI is slightly different. Sorry about that.

I just bought the Asus P5KC...

Don't forget that motherboard only uses DDR3 memory that costs an arm and a leg.

The P5KC handles DDR2 and DDR3 - The one you reccomended to me Jamie !

Need help re driver update. Just acquired the Asus P5KC board and not sure which drivers to update. Been to asus site and have following choices for XP OS.

For chipset i have a choice of two...

Got it. This looks a lot more powerful than my Radeon 9800 card.

Can't build it until next week. Its like waiting to open your xmas presents :)

At last the GT8800's are in should get mine Wednesday, fingers crossed.

No EVGA's though,so settled for BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC2 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Core running at...

These 8800 GT's are like gold dust, can't get them anywhere at the moment, there are pre orders everywhere, and not enough to fill those.:(

I agree with those comments, Europe very expensive.

Try living north of London, londoners dont even think there is a north lol.

Did matrix of vendors to parts im buying and found that lowest...

Thank you.

The link is for this file, Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers, file name WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe. It says If you're updating just one...

Quick question.

I have Windows XP Home edition that has service pack 1 on it and is about 4 years old.

Do I stick with it, as tried and tested, and spend the hours loading SP2 on top of it.
