When you install a new video card will it "search" for the best drivers? - Because I'm pretty sure that the drivers the card comes with are not the newest and or the best ones. I will read the manual when I install it on Friday but for now I was just curious. Thanks.
It's an FX5200 128mb card and I have the latest Nvidia (52.16) drivers on my hard drive.

You ought to download the newest drivers first, and don't even bother with the CD at all.

If you tell the install wizard to search for the best drivers, it'll find them (once extracted). Or, you can just point the wizard to the right place.

Right, the Maze is a waterblock (third...generation?), BIP stands for Black Ice Pro - a radiator, and the Danner Mag 3 is the pump. Give me a minute, I'll post a pic.
