    Guys, is it best to stick with the Dell video driver or should I go with different driver for the Radeon HD 3650. Thanks for any assistance.

    Dell drivers are always the best and typically offer the best in temperature and performance. You could go searching for other drivers, but keep in mind that those drivers may or may not perform better or worse, but they are not optimized for Dell, at least not yet, so it they may run your card at slightly higher temperatures than what the drivers were originally designed for.
