Yea, any time you do a clean install you'll need to put your specific hardware drivers in yourself as Windows has no way of knowing what hardware you'll be using, therefore the drivers won't be included in the OS installation CD.
You should only need the following drivers:
CHIPSET driver (important, if you value any kind of performance at all)
Video card driver
Audio card driver
Ethernet controller driver
Anything else, such as third-party software stuff will be installed when you install the software.
