    Both 32 and 64 bit drivers should already be in your drivers disk. I would recommend downloading newer VGA drivers from laptopvideo2go since the stock VGA drivers do not usually offer the best performance for your GPU.

    For Drivers, All Except the Video Drivers and possibly the Wi-fi card, the other drivers do not really mean much, except to make the component work, and there is usually no updates/no reason to upgrade to the latest driver, but it doesn't hurt to have the latest.

    Videocard drivers you probably won't find on the manufacturer's website, Check laptopvideo2go, they actively update drivers, if your graphics card is not on the list (ie The 8600M GS is usually excluded) you can download their modified .inf file and replace the one in the driver directory for it to work.

    Hope this helps!
