    Once I receive my m11x in a few weeks, I'd be planning to reformat and do a clean install and partition to get rid of all the bloatware and increase performance. I already have a Win7 Home Premium disc in hand, so I'm just looking for the updated drivers list for an mm11x R3, as well as a few AW software I would like to keep (like AlienFx and AlienSense). Anyone have download links for those?

    Thanks!

    No one? :D I'm trying to download them all now while I still don't have it to prepare for my inevitable reinstall...Does Dell's support page have everything I need?

    enter your service tag which is a 7 digit code you need to know. you can find it when you boot the computer and see alienware logo hit f12 and enter diagnostics it will tell you the service code


    But i would get the driver for the gpu from nvidia.com the new beta drivers came out and from my experience are way better than the older ones

    good luck
