    just benched my vostro 1500 a bit, please check if it's ok (for that configuration); want to find out if the hardware i ordered really is inside.

    Dell Vostro 1500 - C2D T7250 @2.00GHz (not overclocked) - 8400M GS - 160GB Sata/AHCI HDD - 3GB RAM - cpu / ram on 667MHz FSB - mainboard don't know

    - do i need a "dualcore optimizer" program? i already changed processor numb from 1 to 2 in msconfig.
    - i found out that 8600m GT instead of current would only have been 50 €uros difference. did i make a mistake buying 8400M GS ?
    - cpu reaches 75°Celsius when used. is this ok?
    - there are so many drivers available. do i need "intel matrix storage manager" and "intel turbo memory" when i already installed the "intel chipset" ?
    i don't want to use the dell support-utility, don't want to connect over the internet with them.
