Thanks Troth,

Will install the drivers from the CD, and see where I am.
What about the 
video card drivers, use the CD that came with it or download
from EVGA site?

need, or you're having problems with something that an
upgrade would fix.

I would use the video drivers from the CD. Though, that one
is a little less stringent. I see no reason not to use the
most up-to-date video drivers. As a matter-of-fact, with the
video drivers, you're going to probably want to update the
drivers every now and then when new drivers come out. So,
yea, with video drivers you can get the latest. I myself
would use the ones from the CD, but only for initial
installation to make sure everything's working great. Then
the video drivers would be the first on the list to upgrade
to the latest and greatest.
