    My wife's Studio XPS 1645 works fine.

    I did replace the WLAN card though, as the Dell 1510 (1501?) doesn't have 64-bit win7/8 drivers. I popped in an Intel 6235.

    My Dell Bluetooth 370 doesn't work anymore. Windows 8 won't even detect it, and the Dell drivers won't work. Besides that, everything works just fine.

    I'm on Windows 8 but I'm having some problems with my graphics drivers (XPS 1640 with ATI HD3670). What version are you people using? I downloaded the latest driver from AMD and that gives me errors on each startup.
