Bare with me, there are 4 questions: I currently run AMD 1.8Ghz with a Asus
A7V8X/LAN mobo, MSI GeForce3 Ti200 graphics card .
1. When I try to update drivers at the ASUS website there are 2 selections
available: A7V8X-X or A7V8X-MX. All the documentation with my mobo only shows
A7V8X (no -X or -MX), which one do I have? Is there a utility I can run to
check? I think the MX is newer, but I'm not too sure.
2. When I download/ update the BIOS and chipset drivers (which I haven't
done yet), do I just select "open" and have the program do it (automatically)
or "save" (and do it manually)? MSI has an automatic updater that finds the
latest drivers for a system that can update everthing. Can I just use that or
does MSI and Asus not "communicate"?
3. Should I make a "startup" disc b/4 I do anything just in case anything
goes wrong?
4. How often should I get the latest drivers for my system even though my
system, it seems, is FINALLY running smoothly in a long time. What ain't
broke, don't fix? Or do it anyways?
Thanks, in advance!
