    Hey, I have heard many people complain about bloatware on the Dell system however, is it only for the US systems? Because having things such as AOL launchers and ESPN would be quite redundant where I live.

    Also, how exactly do I get rid of the stock DELL graphics drivers? Is this a very complicated process, or do they go away with the reformat that seems so popular after intial purchase.

    Thx in advance.

    I'm not sure if the bloatware is just for USA or not. I would imagine that there would be some kind of bloatware on all systems.

    As for the driver, you should have a support site for dell that allows you to download drivers. USA's is support.dell.com but I think they have one for every Dell branch based on country.
