Scroll all the way down, you'll see a big section labeled Software and Operating Systems

Hope you can find the software section okay

Please don't double post. If you post in the wrong section, PM a Moderator to move it for you and we'll be happy to.

This one has been moved and the other posted here was deleted :]

ok, maybe if i be more specific, someone can help me out where to get these?

1. ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Bios Drivers? which is best? (heard the newest ones don't perform as well)

2. Geforce ti-500? latest Drivers from site i presume?

3. Burn-In programs? i'm not experienced w/ burn in programs so i'm not sure which is best? heard PRIME 95 or TOAST?

4. Benchmarking programs..?? not sure but that WCPUCID(sp?) is what ppl seem to agree on?

1. Ask in the AMD mobo section, they'll be able to help you.

2. Ask in the Video card section, they'll be able to help you there.

3. and 4. Burn in programs and Benchmarking programs are almost essential the same thing. I'd recommend SiSoft Sandra for benchmarking and burning in everything. For benchmarking and burning in the video card, go with 3dMark.

I don't remember where to find SiSoft Sandra, but just do a quick search on Google. As for 3dMark, I believe that can be found at www.madonion.com or www.futuremark.com
