Vista Installation + Extra Software

[evforme]

I'm looking to install Vista over a preloaded installation of Windows XP and I was wondering what order should I install the additional software such as Rescue and Recovery 4.0 (I currently have 3.10.0220) and Client Security Solution 8.0 (I currently have 7.0). I'm assuming I'll need to install Vista first, then R&R, and finally CSS? Also, is it preferable to use drivers directly from ATI or the ones provided by Lenovo for my FireGL v5200?

I'm using a T60p 2623DDU. Thanks.
