    Hi,

    I recently purchased a brand new notebook.

    I wanted to know if there is a simply way of finding out if it has the latest drivers installed for :

    bios
    graphics card (ati 9700)
    sound
    etc etc

    Is there a website or tool which tells you and where can I download any updated drivers.

    The notebook model I purchased has been on the market for around 9 months now (nearly phased out) which is why im asking...

    Your manufacturer's site for BIOS (or possibly the people who made the mobo (Intel, AMD, ASUS, VIA, ABIT, etc.).

    Graphics Card-Omegadrivers, or www.ati.com-Catalyst 4.12 with or without Catalyst Control Center.

    Sound-Sound Card Manufacturer, or comp. manufacturer's site.
