The Dell Download is based on the connected computer. If it is not another
Precision 670 what you found probably is not the correct driver. I can't
help much more than that because my computer is a Dell 4400 and if I go to
the download it would show files specific for this. You would have to find a
way of forcing it to the correct Precision 670.
