Reformatted old Dell

Hi all, I reformatted an old Dell in my office and I can't seem to locate any of it's driver software (which isn't surprising). I was browsing around the Dell website and found this. That seems to be the right driver, given that the PC is a dimension 4550, but I wanted an "expert opinion" so to speak. I would have to download the driver at home and then burn it to a cd and bring it back, and I'm trying to make this as painless as possible. Thoughts?
 
Each Dell machine has a unique identifier on the back called a "Service Tag". If you take that code and enter it at Dell Support where prompted, you will be given a list of compatible drivers for your system.
 
Even so the service tag doesn't always narrow it down fully. For example, a few days ago I entered a service tag and was given a list of around 15 NIC drivers to download...talk about pain in the butt.
