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...

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. http://ww1.driverguid.com//?gtnjs=1 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.

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the manufacturers' websites (or sometimes ftp servers)those driver sites are total crap and are usually hopelessly outdated.
