    Does anyone here know of any sites that can scan my computer, and provide me information of latest available drivers? I found a site that does this for $30 bucks a year. But I am too cheap to avail of that.

    Thanks.

    Driveragent.com does this also. Its a free scan but you need to pay for it to get the drivers for you. Regardless you just go to the website of the company for the driver and get it yourself. 95% of the time its easy to find the driver.

    There is a freeware program called Game Shadow that will check for updated graphics card drivers, DirectX drivers, and will also report if there are any patches for games on your system.

    :D
