I recently saw a guy on Newegg advising people to download only the Lan driver from the motherboard CD and then go online from the manufacturers website, and download the remaining drivers individually like the chipset, audio, usb etc..
As a novice like me, this sounds all very complicated. Can't I just visit the manufacturers website and download the latest drivers for the specific motherboard & video card I have as a whole? Do I really have to download the drivers individually? And if that's the case, why do motherboards & graphics cards come with drivers on the CD?
Coming back to the fact that I'm no expert at defining which drivers I should download, if in doubt, should I use the CD drivers which came with motherboard & graphics card, then visit their respective websites and download any updated versions or is that not recommended?
I thought downloading the drivers would of been the easiest part of building a computer. Now having watched that tutorial on Newegg I'm worried that once my computer is finally up and running I would get the driver installation all wrong.
Maybe I'm missing something here. Please help.
