Default Where To Go To Update Your Drivers

Many problems that interfere with your GW gaming experience can be corrected by simply updating the software responsible.
Before you go visit any of these sites, make sure you know a few things about what you need updated:
- The type of device needing the update (Motherboard, Video Card, etc.)
- The manufacturer or brand of the device
- The model number.

Sometimes you'll need to know additional things, such as your operating system.

If you have an HP or Compaq computer of any kind, you will need to download your updates from the HP Support Site.
HP makes changes to the driver packages so that you cannot directly download the updates from the equipment's manufacturer. You can only get the needed updates through HP.

nvidia laptop video cards can not be updated by simply going to the nvidia site, as they don't officially support updating laptop drivers.

This is an awesome website I have been using for years as I am a laptop gamer. May want to add it to the list

Sorry I found my stats and stuff thanks for the HP link. This is also a very stupid question but I must ask it there is a sticker on the front of my tower that reads "intel inside Pentium 4" now does this mean my mother board is intel or what ?? Please bear with my lack of computer knowledge.

The sticker means you have an Intel pentium four processor

Hmm, I see your problem - only the PCI-E version is listed. Having said that, if ATi drivers are still the same as they used to be, the one set of drivers will recognise cards from the entire range. Download the PCI-E anyway - if it doesn't recognise your card it won't install.

Assuming they work as "well" as nVidia drivers
