I'm assuming your reading this off your motherboard installation disc? If so, then all 3.

Its from the manufactures download section for my motherboard.

really? I thought that maybe the first one wouldn't be needed if I'm using a graphics card.

No: your on-board graphics should be disabled; having a driver installed for it will not help anything, and may confuse the OS.

Drivers
AMD on board nForce Driver Package

Not sure what this is....."AMD on board nForce driver package"....doesn't make sense to me; what motherboard?

You need the chipset drivers; should be one of the first drivers installed.

Don't install any of the drivers from Foxconn, as they are seriously out-of-date (typical for motherboard companies). Go to NVIDIA and download the latest drivers:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Select "Legacy" for Product Type -> "NForce4 Series" for Product Series -> "nForce430 / GeForce 6150" for Product -> select your OS -> Search

If using the onboard Realtek High Definition Audio, download the latest drivers from Realtek.
