    That link takes you to a post that has an attachment with a parts list - from last week.
    I did a search and couldn't find anything at Dell - they're not going to make it easy for you.

    I did a fresh re-install of Win 8 Pro on my M6600 today. It detected my video card as a Radeon HD 6900M series card and installed a default driver. Everything seems to be working fine. Should I put the FirePro 8900 drives in?

    No...I had no issues with Win 8 Pro other than that are no drivers for the FP reader yet (even for the M6700 too). I suspected I had a virus after installing some free software. My scans didn't find anything, but I'm paranoid so I wiped the drive and re-installed. :) I put the FirePro drivers back in this morning and still working great.

    Boot ups and re-starts/shut downs are so much faster with Win 8 Pro. I upgraded all my PC's with it. The last two, I did the $14.99 special upgrade price from Microsoft.com. The M6600, I did the $39.99 upgrade price because I didn't know about the loophole of the other deal at the time. :) I also got Windows Media Center Pack for all them too with Microsoft's limited-time free add-on offer.


    $14.99 offer: Windows 8 upgrade offer - Windows 8 special offer (there is a loophole - anyone can figure this one out) :)

    $39.99 offer: Buy Windows - Microsoft Windows

    Free Windows Media Center Offer: Add features - Microsoft Windows

    It's seem that I'm having hang-up if re-start :confused:.. boot from shutdown no problem.. maybe when bit free just another try of clean install.. by the way do you use the UEFI boot ?

    No, I do not use UEFI boot. I read that some were having issues with it.
