EbilDustBunny June 27, 2006 Share EbilDustBunny GC Alumni June 27, 2006 Okay browsing... to see if I can easily expand my USB bandwidth and fell upon this nifty scanny program... check to see if you have all the lastest drivers for your hardware. http://driveragent.com/?ref=103 It's free but if you want to down load the drivers you have to get membership (not free) but it's was still good. now i know there' new Nvidia drivers out.

Ice_Berge_00 June 28, 2006 Share Ice_Berge_00 GC Alumni June 28, 2006 not so certain on that Ebil. nVidia specifically says you MUST uninstall the drivers before installing. Otherwise you may experience problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATI is the same way but they do provide an uninstaller thats simply a one click think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavid June 29, 2006 Share pavid Member June 29, 2006 It's a great checker. The downside is trying to locate the most up to date version without paying them for access. It's okay for major components but for subsystems such as the USB hub it's almost impossible. On the other hand, if your system is running fine why bother?

Yeah if it's not broken don't borhter, but it's good to know if they aren't updated... so you know you can if you were to run into a problem. Heheh hunting them down is half the fun!
