I was browsing the Gigabyte website the other day ( I know, get a life!) and
I checked out the driver section for my GA-8INXP. There were a few things
there but I wasn't sure if I needed to download them or not.

So, my question is, how do I know what drivers I already have and which ones
I should download?

Cheers.

Si

The official (techy) way is to go to Windows device manager, select the
device you are considering upgrading, and check the driver version. If it is
less than the one on the web page, download and install the newer one.

The easy way is to just download all the latest drivers from the web site
and install them, but keep a print out of the web page, which states the
driver versions. Then you know which ones you have installed.

BTW if you upgrade the network card drivers to the latest version on the
Gigabyte site, you will then find that windows update will find a newer
version for you.

Sad

Take care,

John.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
