2 hours ago(finally!!! :)) I bought my computer, I'll get it in two weeks, the computer is:

Processor - Athlon 1.33Ghz
Mobo - A7A266(I couldnt get the A7M :()
Memory - 256MB DDR
Video Card - ATI Radeon 64MB DDR
HD - IBM 40GB 7200RPM
Sound card - Creative SoundBlaster Live! Value
CD ROM - LGx52
Keyboard - the usual microsoft internet keyboard
Mouse - the laser Intellimouse
CDRW - RICOH 12/10/32 IDE

+speakers, 1.44 diskettes drive and the network card(is it the correct word?).
I didnt buy a monitor because I already have a good one.

----
Question 1 :
What drivers do I need to download, from where, and are they the exact thing I need?

----
Question 2:
When I get the computer, how can I know if the people in the store built it all correctly? If they configured all the hardware in the best and in the right way?

----
Question 3:
What OS should I get?
To be more exact, what Windows OS should I get?

1. You need to download some drivers for your computer, off the Internet, they are the exact thing you need.

2. Where you got your computer, you can check to seee if the people in the store built it correctly. Make sure they configured all the hardware in the best and in the right way.

3. You should get an OS.
To be more exact, you should get a Linux OS.
