So as you've gathered from the title I've just installed my first SSD and it went pretty smoothly. There was one snag along the way...
After windows 7 was installed it restarted and said "4 updates have been installed, please restart your computer". (I have an ethernet cable plugged in). I restarted and then came up with something like:
"Windows has failed to logon".
I restarted again and it dissapeared and started up fine. Should I just forget about that?
On another note I'm not sure which drivers to download... My motherboard is an Asus Rampage Formula (see link)

If you click the downloads tab and Windows 64 bit it gives loads of downloads... I think in the past i've installed some of these but i'm not sure if i actually need them. For example do i need these:
1. Bios updates. I actually haven't installed these before so I'll probably stay clear.
2. LAN. "Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Driver V11.10.5.3 for 32/64bit Windows 7.(WHQL)". I think I installed this last time but I'm online atm without it...
3.Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager Driver. I've never really known what this is...should i install it!?
I'll get the GPU driver from the manufacturers website but it's showing up as installed in device manager already with no problems! Should I still go to the manufacturer's website (EVGA)?
So far everything's smooth but I haven't installed any programs or done anything particularly intensive.
I know it doesn't mean much but this drive (OCZ Vertex 2 60gb) scores a 7.7 in windows experience index lol
Thanks everyone,
Jez
