Motherboard installation question

[Oldog]

I am getting ready to replace my ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard with a P5Q-PRO. I have downloaded three tutorials on how to do this and they all seem to give good directions except for one thing that bothers me. With my P5Q-PRO, ASUS furnished a support DVD with the chipset drivers among other things. What bothers me is that the tutorials that I have read do not mention using the support DVD during the process, starting the powerup phase with the Windows installation CD. Where will the chipsets on the new board get the drivers? This may be dumb question, but I am determined to resolve all the issues that I don't understand before I start.

You will have to install Windows before you can used the disc with the chipset/mb device drivers etc on it anyway. You'll be fine. Install motherboard, connect everything, boot with Windows disc and install, then install chipset/motherboard drivers.

Thanks mtyermom. That was the one thing that I wasn't sure of.

No problem, let us know how the build goes.
