Hey all... Im looking for some tips on the installation procedure for my box. Im getting ready to format, and was wondering of an optimized setup...

Hardware im worried about
Radeon VIVO
SB Live! 5.1 platinum...
Iwill KK266 Via Mobo

Obviously, im going to drop the via 4 in 1's on here...
Im looking to go with the plutonium drivers for Radeon (ive been running 7.1's for a while... stability and performance i wanted)
Im also looking to get my sb to work in all this too...

So what order should i install? I know this biggest pain is going to be the radeon...
 
I had the same Radeon, and installing on the Soyo Dragon didn't present any issues at all. Now the SBLive... that seems to depend on your birthsign or something. Usually it works out okay, but I would probably install the SBLive after the system was already up and running.
 
I would suggest that you install the 4 in 1's before you install any drivers for the video card or before you install any other hardware.
