Evo, u did a clean install on ur XPS? Necessary?

to maximize ur system performance, yes, recommended to clean reformat to remove all unnecessary junkware..

oh.. I know how to reformat but b4 reformat do I need to backup anything? Would you be kind enough to list out the drivers u install after clean install pls?

Is it this? TS posted.

Softwares to download after reformatting
Intel High Definition Codec(IDT)Download
Dell ApplicationsDell Dock Dell Data Safe Dell Remote Access
Dell Webcam Central Download

evo..after format..how much processes running now...exclude firefox,ie...just like when the laptop starts processess, include dell dock if u using

i only install:
quickset
sound blaster xfi (sound quality from the speaker no diff before and after installing the driver.. unless earphone..)
card reader
intel my wifi
synaptics touchpad
ati mobility radeon 10.6

dell data safe remote access, webcam, intel high defination codec not really useful for me, so i just ingore it.. basically u just need to install what u think its necessary will do..

not using the dock, as there r plenty of spaces on the taskbar.. so can just drag n drop.. easier to launch..

around 550+mb after startup..

eh? didn't go for 64 bit? u mean this?
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)?

yeah, i go for windows 7 home premium 32bit instead of 64bit..

and i found out something really weird.. i cant activate my windows using the product key given under the notebook.. tmr gotta call dell and ask what causes that..

my guess is that is a 64bit product key, so cannot use under 32bit windows..
