Hey all!

I'm just about to format my machine and do a clean Windows 2000 Pro
installation and need some help with the proper driver, patch, fix, update
order...

My hardware consists of the following...

- Gigabyte GA7ZM mainboard with a VIA chipset
- AMD Duron 600 CPU
- 256 Meg ram
- 20 Gig 7200RPM Maxtor HD
- SB Live! 5.1 OEM soundcard
- Asus V7100 GeForce 2MX video card (32meg AGP)
- Realtek 8139 based 10/100 PCI network card
- Acer 640BU USB scanner
- HP8100 IDE CDRW drive

What order should I install the hardware drivers, VIA 4in1, Windows service
packs, Windows Update security (and other) updates, MS AGP fix, etc.

Also, is there anything I should avoid (SB Liveware 3.0 software? etc.)

Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks!
