drivers

ok opinion time!

what is the best site for drivers on the Web.

now im not just talking windows, linux, or mac(do macs even need drivers?) im talking all of the above! thank you for any replies

oh and if posible one with a far reaching timeframe like going back to say 1995. and yes some computer parts last that long.

Simple. The manufacturer's website.

Google

When dealing with drivers, it is always best to check the manufacturer's website first. There are sites out there that offer tweaked video drivers for nVidia and ATi if you are into that kind of thing. There are sites out there that offer driver downloads that are identical to the manufacturer. These sites are typically good for finding older driver versions and doing one stop driver shopping.

well obviously the manufacturer is the first source. but most manufacturers dont have drivers on their site for non mainstream operating systems.

om in a bad pinch for linux drivers.

and afew games i own dont run properly on the latest drivers for my video card so i need to use older ones

and grinch one stop shopping is what im after. and blink google usualy gives me reviews and the like which im not looking for when after drivers. although i do love google thanks for any more replys

I have a few friends that are Linux nuts and they usually go to Linux sites to find drivers they need to get something working. One of them actually creates his own if necessary. I have yet to find a manufacturer that doesn't offer a driver but then again with Linux I can understand since there are so many different flavors of Linux.

The manufacturer should suit you just fine for Windows based OS's.

For Linux I would suggest scoping sites related to your particular Linux Distro.

http://oldversion.com/ - Give it a try, what do you got to loose?

thank you fyi i use mandriva 2005 le and susa free

thanks for the help ill post on the linux forum since there isnt anyone suggesting a one stop shopping site oh well
