    Right now I installed my SSD and have a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate (signature edition :D ) up and running. I installed my bear extender for WIFI but for some reason the internal wifi card will not work. I have tried the files for the wifi and the one I think it is (the half card one) does not seem to be working correctly. It keeps giving me an error that it can't install. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running the newest bios so maybe its conflicting with that? Im kinda lost...

    False alarm. I guess when I updated windows 7 (via automatic update) it corrected the problem. Installed without a flaw this time around. Gotta love Sub 10 seccond boot times.

    False alarm again. I tried updating to the newest Nvidia drivers on the dell site... Even though I put in R1, it still gave me options for the ones that I guess work with optimus. I had to install the beta drivers for it to work correctly.
