Hey all. I have been an AMD guy since I started building computers a few years ago. But I wanted to try something different and build an Intel system (no flames or AMD vs. Intel battles here please). I have the 8IRXP on the way along with a P4 1.8a. I will be running XP pro. Here are my questions:
1. What drivers will I need for this thing? I know the board comes with the cd for drivers, are those the best to use?
2. I have seen that I need to update the bios to the f6. Is the one on the gigabyte site the one I need, or is there another floating around somewhere?
3. I have an Alpha Pal 8045, should I use it? Will it fit on this board, or should I just use the hsf that comes with the P4?
I will have some o'clocking questions later, once I get it all set up. Thanks for your help!
