XPS 630i on Official Windows 7 x64

I upgraded yesterday.  I lost the ATI CCC program, so there is no way to see if my two ATI video cards are in SLI mode.The display seems just fine. As you noted too, there is no Windows 7 drivers on the 630i site.

Did you get the Windows 7 from Dell? Is this the free upgrade? When I check all of mine still show no status.

I had installed Windows 7 RC on my 630i when I first got it and did not need anything other than to have it connected to the internet at the time of the install and it found just about all drivers on its own.

you are going to have to add a few HDD to your system(s)!

I am interested in knowing when you get notified on the staus of your upgrade. I have a XPS 1545 that is suppose to arrive on 11/3 with Vista Ultimate loaded and a free W7 upgrade. I am hoping it won't take as long to get the upgrade as it is to get my machine! ( delivery just got bumped another week, we'll see what happens next week)

No. My system is out of the target date to get a 'free' one. I went to officemax and bought the 3 family upgrade disk, it comes with both the 32 bit and 64 bit Win 7 disk. I put in the 64 bit disk into my 630i and let it upgrade. It took about two hours and BAM! there it was. For some reason the ATI CCC video program does not seem to function, BUT the video drivers are in place for both my ATI cards in SLI mode. The funny thing about this is my 32 bit Dell laptop, a Inspron 1721, that also has the ATI CCC program did not have any issues in using it. 

 Been so busy this week I haven't even gotten to backing mush up for the clean install. Thanks for the ESA link, though as suspected it's XP/Vista. And someone will jump in and say Vista is good enough for Win7, it's the same thing -- but is it really?

 Case in point, running Vista x64 for a while now, things been good. then the Patch Tuesday of this month killed off my Printing ability. And eve last nights very lengthy updates still don't help. I got a network printer. Vista sees it. The HP software sees it. The diagnostics sees it. The MS so-called "Fix-It" sees it. I can see it. Apps can see it. Everything is supposed to see it. Yet... nothing ever gets printed!

 Laptop running XP sees it, can still print fine over there, have the same firewall even, and.., only laptop can print.

 Update HP software again, run countless diagnostics, still... everything sees the printer, just nothing ever get to the printer. Kill off AV protection, and turn off Trend Micro & ZoneAlarm Pro, still nothing gets to the printer. Go through the fix-it junk again, oh, it sees that there's a document waiting to be printed - MS' tool sees that is why nothing is getting printed!
 Oh yeah, right, like that requeuing trick would work, stupid software.

 And you think I'm going off on a tangent, right? Wrong. The Updates that killed off my printing access was the Win7 update compliance stuff, so the fixes supposedly to Win7 killed off printing access in Vista! So it's NOT THE SAME.

 MS' Step By Step page today taunts Win7, nice redirect huh. Good thing I bought the pre-release so long ago, as I'd hate to think that the only other way to get printing ability back was to upgrade my OS. Why does this remind me of the Win95 to Win98 days over a similar issue???

To think before patch Tuesday everything was going fine, minus the sound card talking in tongues. Oh, and for the restore point, seems the patches in Patch Tuesday killed off that functionality too, so I cannot restore to another point. There's alway an error and nothing gets restored.

So, yeah, OS rebuild is in order. Thanks MS! Least I can print off my resumes on my laptop via a jump-drive!
