I'm building my first computer this weekend, and I was preparing by downloading drivers for the motherboard, etc. I'm going to first try installing Windows 7, but it may not work because it's an OEM disk that says "update" on it (from the college where I work).
I'm preparing for the possibility it won't work by having Ubuntu Linux ready to install as well.
Anyway...I went to Gigabyte's website and it says "Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website."
I'm not entirely sure where that would be. My motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-USB3.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: related question. If I do have to go with linux, should I use Mint or Ubuntu?
