yeah, but I never had to actually use the cd that came with the motherboard. Just put the system together, throw in windows, and thats it.

Well, installing the drivers from the manufacturer usually make for better performance, like Nvidia NFORCE drivers, stuff like that...

Nvidia's IDE drivers are poop. You get a lot of data corru[ption and stuff. I think they are working on them though. I hope so at least
