Msi Pro2a essentials

[dartblazer]

What sort of essentials should i be downloading now? i just recently got an msi and haven't even turned it on yet, still waiting on video card, and i would like to know what programs i should be getting, via 4 in 1's bios updates? anything. Also, the EZLogo program that comes on the cd, does it display a full screen image or a small logo in teh upper right corner? and also how do i make a 16 color bmp(what program(S)).

I would go to Orangedelta.com first and take alook around there. You will need one of the latest Bios. I am using the one of the German site and it seems to be ok. If your running Win 2K than you will need the latest IDE drivers. There is a link at orangedelta.com. You will also want to make sure you have the latest drivers for all of your other cards and devices. I just finished building my new system and am still working on getting everything optimized.

does updating the bios, drivers, etc. improve performance by a noticable amount or just make system use more stable?

thanks

Mine actually seems a tad slower since updating from 1.7 to 1.9 . I don't have any benchmarks to go by, but it seems to lag a bit on the first click. It did fix a problem I was having coming out of suspend mode, so I will take the stability over the little bit of speed difference. I haven't tried the 2.? overclocker's version yet.
