Finished build, XP64.. now what?

[JAK]

So my build is complete, and running smooth..

I havn't used Windows for a long time at home, been using Linux for well over five years so i'm a little rusty with the "in" must have applications for Windows XP.

I've justed downloaded and installed AVG (I trust this is still the bees knees for free anti virus?), I've also download CPUZ simply to check i have a quadcore :D :D :D.

What else is must have software nowadays?

(i know i'll need prime95 when i come to overclock, havnt bothered yet)

That is the main stuff, now all you got to do is install your drivers, and you can begin gaming!

What graphics card you got in there now?

LOL okay at least you're up an running now :)

And yes to your question about AVG, it is still the best free anti virus around.
