    Is there any way to freely identify and download the newer drivers for my laptop. I tried out driveragent and tells me i have Intel(R) ICH8M 3 port Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2828, available for download but i dont know how to get it, since i looked up on the intel site and i cant seem to find it.

    Also wants the newest laptop2go driver for my nvidia 140m ??

    Thanks for any help.
