Fresh XP install

[bigbird656]

Hi, i just did a fresh install of XP home on my 64 rig (msi k8t neo fis2r, 3000+, 1gb pc3200 ocz, 120gb 133ATA 7200rpm, 9800 pro) and i want to know the order of the drivers i need to install. Im thinking this:
mobo drivers
direct x 9.0b
catalyst 4.7
Sp1

Any other drivers i need? Is that the correct order? Thanks

I'd do Windows Update w/ SP1 and all updates first, followed by MB drivers, and then the rest in any order.

ok, will do!

What I have gotten into the habit of doing is the fresh install, followed by SP1 and a cumulative hotfix off of CD, mobo drivers, antivirus/ad-spyware, firewall (I usually just set up WinXP built in one at this point), then plugging into the internet and going to windows update.

This way most of the holes are patched and you're not infected right off the bat.

Of course this requires downloading the SP and burning all this junk to CD.

Of course a newer copy of XP should have SP1 integrated into it, as well.

I usually do chipset drivers, SP1, DirectX 9.0b, video drivers and then the rest.

I got XP slipstreamed with SP1. Then the mobo/chipset drivers are a must, since I need the ethernet card working to do anything else. Then it's usually DX 9.0b before or after that since some drivers require it, the catalyst prolly do?? I think Firefox should be next. I made the mistake of using IE and thinking well I shouldn't acquire much spyware in the next few hours putting on more important stuff, but of course I ended up getting quite a bit and get annoyed by popups real quickly so I went and got FF right then!

here is the updates for XP, download them and place them in the folder like it is in the code. it should install all the updtodate hotfixes if you want to install them before getting online, it has not been tested. I wrote it 2 days ago and have not used it yet.
