New AMD system, what patches/updates and in what order...

[BigToque]

This board is an Asus A7v133.

Obviously I'm gonna put on the latest bios (1005a?), but what about drivers?

I have the latest ATA 100 drivers, I need the latest 4-in-1 drivers...

anything else?

Also, there is a Radeon LE in this system, what drivers/registry hacks do I use to fix this bad boy system up?

I have that same motherboard and was told to install everything is this order and it has worked well. Once I went out of order and my 3DMark2001 score dropped by about 500 points. I don't know why it did, but I always do it in this order now.

Win2k
SP2
Large Page Minimum reg file
Win2k Compatibility Update
VIA 4-in-1s version 4.32
DirectX 8
video card drivers
sound card drivers
All other hardware and software
