If you carry out a clean install of Windows you can go to Dell Support, key in your Service Tag and download any drivers and applications relevant to your system.
However, I've just noticed you mentioned Dell are sending you three recovery discs and a driver disc.
The recovery discs will restore your computer to its factory state, whilst the driver disc will contain your system's drivers - you'll only need to use this disc if you carry out a clean install of Windows.
Using the recovery discs is simplicity itself. Insert the first one, restart your computer and press F12, which gives you the option to boot from the first recovery disc. From then on, just follow the instructions given onscreen.
