Hi,

about to go build an athlon 64 rig for the first time and won't have internet access there...

thanks

ok cool thanks..

as got essential stuff..

windows cd
SP2
motherboard drivers / sound drivers / graphics / lan etc
and then a few extra bits of software think that's it really...

i hear sp2 is a bit of a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish but maybe it'll work best under a fresh winxp install with formated drives

if you have a adsl modem or anything make sure you have drivers for them, dont make the mistake i once made

You only need special drivers if you are actually running a 64 bit OS.
As has been said if you are running plain 32 bit XP then the standard 32 bit drivers are what you use.
