Everything is built---now what?

K, put everything together, booted it up, everything seems good, fans all working, lights on, no beeps. Here are the specs:

Thermaltake Armor
Corsair 520w
P5b-e
E6600
2 g Corsair DDR2 667
GeForce 7600GS
Seagate SATA 320 harddrive
Liteon 18x DVD/RW

I inserted the Windows XP disk, and started installing it...but it's going really slow it seems. This normal?

And I was reading the guide on what you do after you build and it says after start up go to CMOS first. whoops. big deal if I went to the OS install first?


SO I guess the question is, whats a quick list of what to do now that its up and running? Thanks
