Dell latitude d610 driver windows 7

Dell only release Windows XP Driver for Dell latitude d610. There are 2 types of Dell latitude d610:

Dell latitude d610 with ATI Mobility X300 graphic.
Dell latitude d610 with Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family graphic.

For both ATI and Intel, there are no support for Windows 7 either from the laptop manufacturer or from the Intel/ATI. I already write a post on how to install Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family graphic and ATI mobility X300 graphic for windows 7.

Base on the information i have, i list down the drivers base on the hardware compatibility. Some of them are directly from the manufacture and some of them are from the third party. This is my initial suggestion and any feedback are gratefully appreciated because it would help me to revise the drivers i listed here.

IMPORTANT:
1. If the Audio, Wifi, Modem, Webcam and Bluetooth working after Windows 7 installation, DO NOT install the drivers for those since it is working and installing other driver may lead to stability issue.
