I did a clean install the other day using flamenko's post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=157838
I'm just wondering which of the following driver's I still need to install. ie. I don't know if my HD and/or chipset supports turbo memory or matrix storage manager? My device manager doesn't show any missing drivers but my driver's disc does not have some of drivers that are on the dell download page for my service tag.

Is it better to install the driver for the graphics card from the Intel site or the ones from the dell site/disc?
Here are the specs of my laptop:

2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz

Thanks in advance.

Well, after getting things working with your disc, I recommend downloading the updated ones from the Dell website, and any you are missing as well. Between Intel and Dell, I don't think it makes much difference, but I would download from Dell.

support.dell.com would be a good place.
Look up your system, select your OS, and download and install the drivers listed that apply to your configuration.
Clean Vista install, which drivers?
