The problem with doing that is that Dell's site will offer more than one
choice of drivers and if the OP doesn't know which video card he has,
he won't know which to use.

He should at least start out with the Dell Resource CD which makes
things easier.

John - Put the Dell Resource CD in the drive and you'll be prompted to
install it. Do that and follow the prompts. The program will start and
go through your system - be patient - and then produce a list of
hardware that is installed. The items with checkmarks to the left of
them are the hardware you have. Install drivers in this order:

1. Chipset (Intel motherboard drivers)
2. Video
3. Audio
4. Network

There will be installation instructions for each item. Read them
carefully and follow directions. Reboot after each installation as
prompted. After the first driver installation is done, leave the
Resource CD in the drive and find the Dell Resource CD entry in your
All Programs menu. Click on it to start the program and install the
next driver.
