WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

No it doesnt matter but when I do a fresh install of windows, I like to install my video drivers so then it isnt all laggy.

Yeah, same here... I hate the way Windows XP sets up the display without some decent drivers... Shame I cant get monitor drivers...

Agree - VGA drivers go first.

Also, I wouldn't recommend installing Intel AA at all - I've seen sooo many probs with it, includind a totally crashed Win2K... (It crashed - I had to reformat - installed it again - it crashed again - I managed to boot from CD and slay the monster...)
