Need some advice ......

Who can give me the best advice possible?

I have the intention to re-install XP and all other software.
Therefor i want to install all the newest drivers for my mainboard and
graphic card.
However i am not sure which driver i need to install, the nVIDIA or the
ASUS.

Hardware Info:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe/Gold Rev. 1.02 (28-01-2003) (333 MHz FSB)
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
2 x 512 DDRAM PC3200 400 MHZ
Asus V9280 TD GeForce Ti 4200-8x 128 DDRAM
Iiyama S701 GT Vision Master 400

Operating System: XP Professional UK

I downloaded yesterday from the website of NVIDIA this file:

52.16_win2kxp_english_whql.exe

I read once that it would be the best choice to use the drivers from NVIDIA
for the ASUS mainboard as well for the ASUS Graphic Card (GeForce Ti
4200-8x)

What is the best procedure to start with?

First step is installing XP Pro (UK) again and the SP 1a.

Then i have to install the QSE-fix for USB 2.0 from the ASUS-CD which came
with the package. After that i will install the 3COM LAN-driver.

But then is the question what to do for installing the nForce2 driver!
If i use the one from the CDROM, i get the 1.16 driver from Asus if i am
right.
Contents of that file:


This nForce WinXP driver package contains the below components:

Audio driver 3.14 (WHQL'd)
Audio utilities 3.07
Network driver 2.81 (WHQL'd)
GART driver 2.78 (WHQL'd)
SMBus driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
Memory controller driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 2.70 In The Box (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 3.07 Full Driver
Installer 3.11


But maybe it's better to take the most recent one?
Is that the one i downloaded from NVIDIA? (52.16)

After that i need to install the ASUS V9280 AGP 8x (GeForce Ti 4200-8x)
Which driver?

I am now not sure anymore what to do.
I am also doubting about the Sound Features ... Which driver does it
include?

I hope someone is willing to help me, so i can safely start with the new
install without causing troubles. If you can give me more useful tips it
would be great ...

Thanx in advance
