Driver installation also has a sequence

Driver installation sequence is also a very important thing, it not only with the normal stability of the system operation has a great relationship, but also has a great impact on the performance of the system. -in the usual use because the driver installation sequence is different, resulting in system program instability, often error phenomenon restart the computer and even black screen panic is not uncommon. And the performance of the system will be driven by the installation sequence of the driver, incorrect installation sequence will cause the performance of the system greatly reduced.

First, after installing the operating system, you should first install the operating system's service Pack (SP) patch. We know that the driver is directly facing the operating system and hardware, so you should first use the SP patch to solve the operating system compatibility problem, so as to ensure that the operating system and the driver seamless combination.

The second step is to install the motherboard driver. Motherboard drivers are mainly used to unlock the motherboard chipset built-in features and features, the motherboard driver is typically the motherboard to identify and manage the hard disk IDE drivers or patches, such as the Intel chipset INF driver and via 4in1 patches. If you also include an AGP patch, it is important that you install the IDE driver and then install the AGP patch first, which is also a lot of the direct cause of system instability.

The third step is to install DirectX drive. This is generally recommended for installation of the latest version, currently the latest version of DirectX is DirectX 9.0C. Perhaps some users will think: "My video card does not support DirectX 9, no need to install DirectX 9.0C", in fact, this is a false understanding, the equivalent of DirectX for Direct3D. DirectX is the application interface (API) that Microsoft embeds on the operating system, and DirectX consists of the display, voice, input, and network parts, and the display is divided into direct Draw (responsible for 2D acceleration) and direct 3D (responsible for 3D acceleration), So Direct3D is just a small part of it. The new version of DirectX improves more than just the display part, its sound portion (DirectSound)--brings better sound effects, and the input part (Direct input), which supports more game input devices, and more detailed identification and drive of these devices, Give full play to the best state and full functionality of the device; the network part (DirectPlay)--enhances the network connection of the computer, provides more connection way. It's just that DirectX's improvements in the display section are more noticeable, ignoring the rest of the credit, so installing the new version of DirectX is not just a display section. Of course, compatibility issues are different.

The fourth step, then installs the video card, the sound card, the network card, the modem and so on board card type driver which plugs on the motherboard.

The fifth step, finally can install the printer, scanner, read-write machine these peripherals drive.
Such installation sequence can make the system files reasonable collocation, work together to give full play to the overall performance of the system.

In addition, monitors, keyboards and mice and other devices also have a special driver, especially some brand better products. Although they can be identified and used correctly by the system without having to be installed, these drivers can be installed to add additional functionality and improve stability and performance.

For example, Microsoft's Mouse driver IntelliPoint, not only can redefine the mouse button function, but also can adjust the speed of the mouse movement, which is very important for some gamers-such as playing FPS game can quickly and accurately position the star in the enemy's head, It depends on your mouse's speed of movement to grasp.

So if you have drivers for these products, don't waste them and install them too.
