Finding Hard-to-Find Software Drivers

Dealing with computers, you often find yourself in a situation where you need a driver and for some reason you can't find the correct CD in your collection.

There are several sites that offer information about drivers and and software availability. Unfortunately, some of these sites sell this information or only list recently-released drivers.

For this reason I use two useful sites, DriverPacks.net and DriverZone.

The first site, DriverPacks.net is a fantastic project that collects (in a compressed file) many devices for every different device topology. In DriverPacks page you can find 11 DriverPacks that contains for X86-32 platform the following categories:

• DriverPack Chipset
• DriverPack CPU
• DriverPack Graphics A
• DriverPack Graphics B
• DriverPack Graphics C
• DriverPack LAN
• DriverPack MassStorage
• DriverPack Sound A
• DriverPack Sound B
• DriverPack WLAN

The second site, DriverZone has a big driver archive (over 100,000 drivers) where you can look for many hardware products, old and new, find the correct driver then download from the manufacturer.

Interesting and helpful information about drivers and other PC related topics available also in Guides page , and suggestion how to discover the correct driver in case you don't know the specific model or manufacturer of your hardware.
