Do I need KT7 cd?

[Rob Cork]

Ok, so i've finally go together the bits for my bro's new computer - duron 600, KT7, GF2MX, the lot - and after spending the whole day getting the damn thing to install windows, I find my asus cd has a huge crack in it! Not a scratch, or even a gouge, but a dirty great crack!! WTF?? Phew - calm down - sorry, it's been one of those days ;-)

Anyway, my question is - is there anything vitally important on that cd, and is it worth sending off for a replacement? Can I download what's on it (if it's the via 4in1 drivers or some hardware monitoring utility, adobe acrobat, etc.)? Any advice would be great, cos I bet if I have to get another off Abit they won't get it to me until after christmas - and I can't wait! Thanks,

The only thing I found useful on the cd for my kt7-raid was directx 7 the 4in1 drivers the raid drivers and via hwm, and that was only so I didn't have to down load them

If you can get online you should be able to get all the drivers that were on the cd either from abit or from various other places.

good luck, that should be a pretty good system.

Thanks for the replies guys - I've used the VIA 4 in 1 drivers from my A7V cd (bet Abit would be chuffed to hear that ;-) ), and I've got mbm5 now so that solves the hardware monitoring problem - as an aside, I've got the duron to 892MHz stable at 1.85V - not what I was hoping ofr, but I'll give it a burn in and try better cooling and we'll see how it goes. 4000+ on 3DMark2k for £540 - can't complain I guess!
