This week I'm going to whipe out my hard drive and install Windows XP clean. After 4 years of not doing a full reinstall of my OS, my PC is EXTREMELY slow, it takes 5 - 10 minutes just to load Windows. Sadly, it'll also take forever to reinstall all my stuff, including FS9...
Since it's years' worth of software installation (pretty outdated), I'm looking for some input on what programs/drivers/versions of software I should be looking at. For example:
1) Forceware Drivers: right now I have the 175.16 version, and I'm happy with it, but should I upgrade to something newer?
2) nHancer: what version runs with what drivers version? I read that drivers above the 200 Forceware Series won't work with nHancer.
3) Are there any compatibility issues with XP SP3 and FS or its addons?
4) Are there any programs you guys recommend me to put in a clean install of Windows?
My old and busted rig:
- Pentium 4 @ 3.0 Ghz HT FSB800 Mhz
- 1 GB DDR RAM
- 250 GB SATA HD
- GeForce 8500GT 512MB Shared Memory
- Onboard Sound
- 450W PSU
I'll appreciate any help from you guys... thanks!
