butwhat should I do before that?I mean when do I uninstall my old mobo's drivers and when do i install the new ones..

well you add the new hardware most of the times windows recognize it so it will ask you the drivers from the disc is simple the older driver will still there but aren't going to be used. Some persons said that format could be nice but if you don't want to format or if you have there important info there is no need.
