    I did a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit on my Alienware m17xR3, and I have installed these drivers: AMD Graphics Drivers, Atheros AR8151, ST Microelectronics Free Fall sensor, Realtek Card reader, Intel Management Engine Interface, IDT Audio, Dell Wireless WLAN Half Mini-Card, USB 3.0, Alienware OSD and Command Center, and Intel Rapid Storage Technology.

    But there is still one Driver that I Dont Know the driver to. In device manager it comes up as "SM Bus Controller".

    If anyone could tell me what driver this is for I would really appriciate it :)
