    I'm alright with computers, I know how to fdisk and reinstall XP and it's drivers on my desktop computer that I built myself. But I'm not so good deciding which drivers/applications I truly want to download on my new laptop computer. I'm hoping someone here can help me out with that.

    Here's the drivers page for the d830. I know that I need to at least install the chipset driver, Sigmatel sound driver, and nVidia videocard driver. I'll probably want to download the mousepad driver. I dunno if I should or shouldnt download the Notebook System Software, or any else of the stuff that's listed.

    My main goal is to install my own hardcopy of XP Pro on my new laptop harddrive so that my computer can start over from scratch without any excess Dell bloatware on it. Any help would be appreciated.
