    hey guys,
    I guess installed driver is not the hardest thing that we do, but my question is there any order that we have to follow??
    Thanks for reading.

    No, there is no particular order I guess. Whenever I come across a driver/firmware/software update, I just install it....

    AFAIK, I just install everything one by one in no particular order... THOUGH, I have seen posts / websites suggesting to install drivers in a given order (Both here and outside NBR) but I guess its more for making it easier for people to streamline their install process.. for example, one common thing I have seen is suggestions to install the ethernet drivers one among the first, so that once u get the internet connection up, you could browse through and get the other drivers for your system.. rather than getting them from another comp, then transfer it to the one u r working on with a USB or CD... u get the point? Anyway.. as Andy said, no particular order I guess too.
