I first posted this in the GENERAL HARDWARE FORUM:
I wasn't sure which forum this should go under, (OS, or General Hardware), but I figured since more people read this board I'd put it here.
Im building a new rig (tonight it looks like form my tracking #s) and I am very unsure as to what operating system I should install on it. I am trying to decide between Windows XP and Windows 2000, but what's holding me back is driver support for the hardware I have. Here is what I ordered.
tbird 1.4
epox 8k7a+ mobo
gainward geforce3
hercules game theater xp sound card
lite on 24x cdrw
pioneer 16x dvd
My question is, does this hardware have current drivers for windows xp??? I heard tht for the Hercules sound card dosen't.. so I'd have to use some generic driver and not get any 3d sound.
So which OS shoul I go with???
