All this stuff is in your manual of each part you buy... as for installing the OS and drivers..its pretty cut and dry, throw the OS disk in and boot from it...and follow the directions.

You won't need CD Rom drivers or HDD drivers..they are native to windows.

Once your in windows you can open device manager and see what you need to install.

Re: building computer

Only thing to note is that if you are doing RAID (which, you probably won't be), XP requires 3rd party drivers, and Vista occasionally does. They also have to be put on floppy disk

If not using RAID (and you would know if you were), then all is good.

Re: building computer

If you don't know what RAID is then you are definitely not using it. No need to cause anymore confusion.

Yup. Just making sure as people sometimes read "2 Raptors in RAID 0 in magazines" and think, "wow, i need RAID!!!". (For example me and my RAID0 and RAID1 combos :p)

Re: building computer

So this will be my build:
Asus P5K-VM or Asus P5E-VM DO
Gigabyte GeForce 8800GT 512MB PCI-E Zalman
Corsair 550W 12CM ATX V2.2 PFC
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Swe OEM 32-bit

and a wuestion: do I install the drivers first or the os first or does it matter?

Re: building computer

You can't install drivers until you've installed an OS...

NOTE: The motherboard you have selected is Micro-ATX, smaller than the standard size.

Could you stretch to this: http://www.alina.se/productInfo.aspx?T2=P5KC

Re: building computer

Re: building computer

It is just that the boards you selected are Micro-ATX, and are physically smaller than normal motherboards.

There could be nothing wrong with them, but normal sizes boards, in general, perform better at stock speeds. Plus, i always like to go for the 95th percentile industry standard size, which is ATX. Means there won't be any compatibility issues in the future.

It £, it is only £9 more which is the same price as a round of drinks at the pub :)

So, think about it.
