| 454816 | 2006-05-14 06:02:00 | Where do PF1 members get updated device drivers from? Does anyone use 'Driver Detective' ($us 29.95) or is there a better site? I guess the advantage of paying is that these programs do a scan of my computer and know which drivers will suit. What do others do? Cheers |

| 454817 | 2006-05-14 06:06:00 | Depends what the driver/s is/are for . I wouldnt bother paying for something to tell me what I need . If its for the mobo, or something for this system, I go to the ASUS site . Or to the manufacturer's site for updated drivers . Just dont use the Windowsupdate site for drivers . If your system was ok before you went here, it wont be after you leave . |

| 454818 | 2006-05-14 06:15:00 | I have found Driver Detective pretty useful. I paid the $29.95 registration and thought it was good valuefor monry. | Grunter (10202) | ||
| 454819 | 2006-05-14 06:42:00 | i object to pay $$$ to get something the manafactures offer for free ! either use the drivers offered by the brand manafacture (ie asus, leadtek, msi etc) or use the generic by the chipset manafacture (ie intel, nvidia, via etc). you also might want to look at the modded drivers ie drives modified by fans for better performance. for the real geeks, flashing the product so you can use a different brand drivers altogether ;) |

| 454820 | 2006-05-15 01:51:00 | I'd have to agree . Manufacturers usually make it pretty easy to find updated drivers on their web-sites, since they don't want expensive calls to their helpdesk . No offense intended, but Driver Detective seems like a bit of a ripp-off . |
