    Hi! I jsut bought the Asus X55A which came without OS and with a drivers CD. I will install Windows 7 on it, can someone tell me in what sequence the drivers have to be installed and which ones are really necessary (and which ones are bloatware)? Thanx!

    There's no specific order in regards to driver installs.
    However, I usually go in the order as follows.
    1. Chipset
    2. Graphics
    3. Network (LAN/WLAN)
    4. Audio
    5. Misc
