computer building - Use CDs that came with hardware or download drivers from Manufacterers website?



I am in the process of building a computer and wondered if I should just use the drivers that shipped with the hardware or if it would be worth the effort to go to the manufacturers websites and download the latest versions for everything?



Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?


Answer



Get it from the manufacturer's website. They will be the most up to date. Keep the CDs just in case. In some cases, if your Ethernet driver isn't installed you can't go online to download drivers, so you would need to use the CD to first get online to download drivers. Usually your operating system will auto-detect a driver for your network interface though.
