Hello all,
There was too many times for me to get stuck with device drivers for computer parts, so any time when I get stuck, I must surf and surf and usless surf to find a compatible drivers... and usualy that device driver is not compliant, or don't work properly. So any of you who got some good experience in this area, or you have some good advice, please respond... smile.gif

The best place is the manufacturer, it is not hard AT ALL to find them, just use a program such as AIDA32 or SiSoft's Sandra to detect the hardware in the system then go to the manufacturers website to get the latest drivers for your OS. www.driverguid.com would be my last resort altho they do have quite a nice assortment of drives but the info on them is usually lacking. The mfc is the best place. [Post #15/50]

I believe the best place to get your drivers from is the manufacturer! It's not only that they did it, so get it from them. Thing might happen that someone will switch the drivers on the pages you suggested, and then you may be stuck!
And manufacturers DO put drivers on their web pages! So why don't use them?

...anyway i don't have the problem:
- i don't use the drivers, i have about 3 copies of them
- i've got a laptop, so the drivers are on the manufacturers website, and have to say noplace else...

But really - stick to the producers website! If you wan't to be sure what you get.

the way to get the latest and the best drivers is as was said, the manufacturers' websites (or sometimes ftp servers)

those driver sites are total crap and are usually hopelessly outdated.

    A storage device (1)
    A harddisk essentially consists of a flat plate like object that is polished to achieve a mirror-
    like effect. This is the hard disk’s platter, and this is where the data is actually stored
    using the magnetic properties of the materials the platter made of. Hard disks of today feature
    multiple platters. Each platter usually has read/write head attached to it, which in turn is
    attached to an arm or actuator that moves the head over the platter. Writing is achieved by
    subjecting the platter to a magnetic flux by the write head, which lead to the change of polarizat....
  3. Monitor
    a most neglected device. (9)
    Monitors remain the most neglected device when it comes to buy or upgrading. Most people only look
    for fastest processor, harddisk space and Ram. However, one important aspect of pc performance often
    gets completely overlooked, and that is the display. This should ideally be one of the more
    important things for any computer user to consider. First, because the display, which depends both
    on the monitor and graphics card, is one of the more expensive component that you buy- it makes up
    about a quarter of the cost of your entire system. The monitor is a long term investme....
