Here's a query for graphics and tweak afficionados:

In a system rebuild, there's a sequence for adding further files or drivers.
My take on this sequence is as I've noted below, but I'm not sure that I'm
right - comment would be appreciated.

1.Windows install
2.Motherboard drivers (from it's CD)
3.Chipset drivers (probably from the chipset mnfr's website, eg. VIA)
4.Graphics card drivers.
5.DirectX

Nowadays, given the level of sophistication of the hardware and accompanying
software, this sequence would seem to be fairly critical. What's your
choice?
