Ok my PC has died - which may have something to do with all teh problems I have been having recently......see all previous techie posts
Now I know not a lot at all about doing a full XP install (its a new blank sata drive -never used)... I have managed to get as far as XP is installed and now need to chuck the drivers on it etc...
First question - its a Gigabyte ga8-k8n mobo - now which Nforce Drivers do I actually need - mate told me to go get them downloaded - he is now changing nappies etc so cant phone him back for a bit...... want to impress him with me uber knowledge as well
Went to Nforce site and there are loads of options Erm wtf...why cant there be just one??
Which one do I need - was going to guess and just go for the nforce 680i SLI (am running SLI as well btw) but then noticed a 680a....wtf - are these simply older versions of similar drivers or do I need the exact one - cant find anything on teh web to give me a clue - and its a big internet
Help..
Rep etc ofc for any advice (that doesnt make my machine catch fire!!)
Also anyone know will that sort out my audio and network drivers as well - or should I be downloading the actual mobo drivers first then nforce (have lost the disc that came with mobo / mate who built PC still has it mebbe)
