Trying to find some free advice!

Hi Wayne,

I would use the free scans then with the info on what drivers are needed, search those manufacturers websites support and downloads section for the said drivers, longer process as you are doing it manually but its free.

If your PC is a pre-build OEM one like HP, DELL etc then goto the makers site and pop in your model number and see what drivers that have, if its home build then most current stable drivers are found at the motherboard makers site.

However many drivers those scans list, are ones that really dont need updating unless your having issues with them, the general ones to update are Graphics Card, NIC, Soundcard, very rare I've even bothered with updateing others.

 

Hi Wayne

SIS graphics are generally onboard ones on the motherboard, so whats your motherboard make and version?


You can use http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html to find this out and post its name and version and I will ahve a search to see if I can loadte newer.


What would WOW be? if its Vista, do run the Vista upgrade advisor first before buying as Vista is fussy with older hardware as their will be no drivers for them, potentially as rule of thumb PCs over a year and a half may struggle to have compatible drivers for the hardware.

 

We can advise you, MajorGeeks will also have a larger driver section this summer.

You should look for the following main drivers:

Motherboard drivers (they control everything else)
Video drivers
sound card drivers
network card drivers

Covering those should keep your gaming running smoothly.

 

Starting anew thread with system specs would be helpful. If you dont know your specs, tell us and we will help. Your replying to someone elses thread, which can confuse people.
