Determine what drivers I need?

[Ctwizzy]

I dont know what drivers I need for my hardware components.

Should I

a. Determine my hardware and which drivers I will need?

b. Just use Sneakys packs?

If I do a. how would I find out which drivers I would need? Is there a program which says what Hardware I have, and the driver etc?

Does sneakys packs generally cover all configurations?

On a last note. One of the machines I plan to use my CD on is a DELL Dimension 8200. Would dell keep a record of my components and a centralized location for device drivers? Would make sense.. but I dont know.

Thanks!

If you don't know what hardware you have, use a program to determine it!

Download Everest Home Edition (I'm sure you'll find it with google, it's free btw), install it and run it!

It's Bâshrat the Sneaky, and the list isn't complete yet... Still have to add Graphics and Chipset.

Thanks ill check that program out.

As for graphics I need the Catalyst drivers, and i see there is a seperate way to acomplish these so thats not a problem.

But as far as sound, storage, mouse/keyboard, monitor etc are Bâshrat the Sneaky's packs better to use than me tracking down the latest drivers myself?

Also my Mouse/Keyboard is a logitech MX wireless combo set. I have the CD for setup. Should I rip the cd to a dir and run as an application install or is there a better way?

Graphics > DriverPack Graphics should be released within next days

Sound > use my DriverPack Sound

MassStorage > test if my DriverPack MassStorage works...

Monitor > add yourself

Mouse/Keyboard > I'd recommend a silent app install because you're a beginner.
