Does The Bios, Drivers Ect. Have To Be Upgraded To Rum Windows 7 On This Machine

I only use this machine for work so don't tell me how outdated it is. I already know. I upgraded to Windows 7 and want to know if the chipset drivers or the bios or anything has to updated to run efficiently. I'm not looking to break the sound barrier, I just want a tad more without locking up. Thanks so much!

Sorry but there is no official Windows 7 support for this laptop so what you see is what you get.
