    I just installed the 32bit release candidate and did the windows update and everything is recognised, though I went to nvidia.com and got the most recent win7 drivers. All seems to be working so far.

    Win 7 RC (64-bit) here, all drivers I needed were found by Windows update. The Nvidia driver was the only one I manually updated.

    I got Win 7 RC(32-bit) for my m1530, all drivers were founded here as well.
    I just manually installed the nvidia and audio driver manually.

    Honestly, no offence intended but I find it weird that people still like the classic start menu over the much smarter and imo superior start menu in vista/7.
    Just my 2 cents :)

    Does anyone have audio drivers that work well? I'm using the version dell provides for Vista, and I can only use the internal microphone. The external one is always labeled as "currently unavailable" in my recording devices list.

    I have a sigmatel chipset, in case there are different ones in different systems.
