    That looks real good... here's a twist coming from my experience with the E6400/E6410 that may or may not matter:

    01) BIOS
    02) Intel Chipset
    03) Dell System Software
    04) 02 Micro Memory Card
    --> SATA storage
    05) Audio
    06) Intel Graphics
    07) nVidia Graphics
    --> Intel turbo boost?
    08) Intel Gigabit
    12) Dell Data Protection Drivers
    13) Dell Data Protection Middleware
    14) Dell Data Protection Application
    09) Intel Wifi
    10) Bluetooth Driver
    11) Bluetooth Application
    16) Dell Touchpad
    18) Free Fall Sensor
    --> modem
    15) Dell AMT
    17) Dell Controlpoint System Manager
    19) Dell Feature Enhancement Pack

    ^yes, but that list includes "ControlVault"....which interferes with "Dell Data Protection" and prevents the fingerprint reader from working. :)

    The list above is based off Dell's guide, without stepping on the aforementioned land mine.

    Thanks a million.

    Now for ALL the marbles, can anyone set up SpeedFan to set the fan? Mine doesn't detect it, and i8kfan causes BSODs :(

    Thanks, this list was really helpful. One package I noticed that was left out was Intel's Rapid Store Tech, which replaces the default MSAHCI driver with the IASTor driver (10.6.0.1002 as of 6/8/2011).

    On my system with the Crucial M4 SSD, I noticed benchmark improvements with the IAStor driver.

    Nick, is there a reason why Rapid Store was left off the initial list? I see GK added the SATA storage drivers in (which is Intel Rapid Store I believe).

    I have no idea about installing Intel's Turbo Boost. Anybody have thoughts on that?

    Thanks
    -Chris
