Well I am about to buy and put my rig together and just had a few questions. Here will be my RIG
Aspire Superalien Case w/500Watt PSU
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
Opteron 144
G.SKill Extream RAM PC4000(2gb)
WD 250 GIG HDD
eVGA 7600gt
I know what your thinking. 7600gt!!! Well that is all I can afford at the moment and will within the 90 days upgrade to a 7900gt with eVGA's 90-day step up program. Also I have never built my onw becuase I usually buy em prebuilt
My questions are.
How will I know what BIOS will be best for me or just I just download the latests one?
Can I download all the drivers and BIOS ahead of time on a floppy disk and have those ready for when I start up?
What tests should I run off the bat?
Any other suggestions or hints would be helpful
