Ep 8rda+ driver, bios download Europe or US?

[jp1114]

Greetings,

This will be my first home-built computer. For the time being I will not be overclocking. I have WIN XP PRO
I just ordered my
ep 8rda+,
VGA TRANSCEND|RADEON 9100 64M RTL
CPU AMD|1800+ 1.5 ATHLONXP TBRED RT


I wanted to be ready by downloading the latest drivers... but I am TOTALLY confused as to which drivers I need to download.

I went ahead and downloaded these files from Epox Europe since the download is much faster:


(1) 8rda3507. (Is this the lastest bios?)

By the way, on the US site but not the European site, I found 8rda3609. Should I download 8rda3609? Is this the latest one... I presume it's the june 9 driver. Why wouldn't it also be shown on the European site?

(2) 4.42v(A)P2 (via all in one driver).

On the US site but not on the European site, I found n_force_winxp_2.00.exe (26018KB)Should I download this one?

From the AMD site I downloaded:

miniport_553

Are there any other drivers I need to download?

Thanks!

Hmmmm... in answer to your question, I have a DHU!? answer: In my rush to download, I confused via with nvidia...

I will download this file
Version 2.03 Release Date: January 30, 2003 English

Just our of curiosity, why are international driver files bigger?

For the graphics card, I will be downloading
WXP-W2K-RADEON-7-81.EXE
from
http://www.transcendusa.com/graphicscard/Drivers.asp?Model=TS64MVDR91
I presume this is the right download for my card.

Thanks again!
