What? Errrr what about Windows update? They provide free updates, there are 100's of driver sites out there giving drivers/software for free. Many manufactures offer full free downloads of all software/drivers for their products

Go to the original manufacture, if its an ATI Graphics card, get the driver from ATI, if its a Creative sound card go to creative.

Often ones hosted by third party sites are out of date, go direct.
