Windows 7 drivers HP Laptop ... Advice Needed Please

[MESA Boogie]

from what I understand from HP, they don't plan on releasing Windows 7 drivers for my laptop which is under 2 years old ... I have run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor and my laptop meets all the requirements ... on the report it has been suggested that after installing windows 7 that I go to the windows update site and download drivers for the following devices to make them compatible :

HP Remote Control HID Device
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221
NVIDIA MCP67M
Ricoh Memory Stick Host Controller
Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller
Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

here is a link for the vista drivers for my laptop.. would the above devices be compatible using the drivers for vista from the HP website...

my question is, should I do what the windows 7 upgrade advisor is telling me or should I try the vista drivers ... in my other post about upgrading it was said that most vista drivers will work with windows 7 ... and I have always heard that it is better to go with the manufacturers drivers as opposed to windows drivers ... but, the upgrade advisor is saying that I need to download the windows drivers to make the devices above COMPATIBLE ... my instinct is telling me to do what the upgrade advisor is suggesting, but I would like confirmation from the experts on this forum ...my plan is to install the Windows 7 RC first to see how things go before purchasing a retail copy of Windows 7 ...
thankyou for your help, its appreciated ....
