Best way to update drivers and software including BIOS

ANGRYWOLF · 03-25-2006, 04:58 PM

What's the best way to do this ? There are some sites that claim , for a fee/subscription, you can log on to them, they do a scan and tell you what needs to be updated. Are they reliable and who has the best one ?

Generally, these sites that claim to be all things to all people (for a fee) are little more than scams.
The only time you should worry about updating drivers is when you find that you can't do something that you want to.
Then, you just go to the manufacturer's site.
Same with the BIOS. There is no need to pay a third party.

If it ain't broke, leave it alone. If an issue arises, address it.
It's easy enough to get help, that there's little you can't do for yourself, if need be.
