What is a driver? What is the bios?
Looking for a driver?
Manufacturers of hardware and software
usually post upgrades, bug fixes, patches, drivers and updates to their sites. If you know
the manufacturer of the product you are looking for a download on, we have a list of all major manufacturers of hardware and software.
The main driver download sites are:
Driver Zone
Driver zone has an easy to use interface, drivers sorted alphabetically and by product.
Open to all.
Driver Guide
Another good site but it has an annoying screen. You need to sign up as a free member
before you can access any drivers.
DriversHQ
Useful, open to all, but frame based (so you can't bookmark a page within the site). Worth
a visit anyway. Includes free "driver detective" software to find your current
driver versions.
CNET
Probably the most updated site. Easy to use, organised by product, and open to all.
Windrivers
Sometimes slow site, but well organised and quite up to date. Open to all. Not frames
based.
Frank's
World O Windows
Help with finding companies/products/products codes + drivers
Helpdrivers
Spanish, English, French and German language support for driver
downloads. Links to home pages, ftp pages and driver pages for most
major manufacturers. Worth visiting.
Bios Upgrades:
Wim Bios
Frames based site, open to all, with BIOS FAQ, BIOS forum, BIOS utilities, and links to
hardware manufacturers' sites.
Driver Zone
Driver zone has an easy to use interface, drivers sorted alphabetically and by product
CNET
Probably the most updated site. Easy to use, organised by product, and open to all.
