The driver I update the most is the graphics card drivers. Just update the drivers when ever a new one comes out.

Here are the motherboard drivers if you are running Vista:
nForce 15.08

Here are the ones for XP:
Driver Download - nForce 680i SLI/680i LT SLI

Video card drivers for Vista:
ForceWare Release 163

And video drivers for XP:
ForceWare Release 163

Hope that helps

You will notice that the drivers for the motherboard say 680i, but it is the same for the 650i Ultra!

Also, I'd recommend downloading/installing Driver Cleaner
, it'll keep problems from popping up, such as driver conflicts, etc....just make sure to read the directions, and ask questions if you need any help.

I wish there was a program that automatically checked all your hardware for updated drivers...
there are video, motherboard (chipset, IDE, SATA, RAID, controllers of all kind), sound cards and also all sorts of other drivers for webcams and thumb drives and external drives and monitors and..... Well, you get the point.

I believe Microsoft Update (IE only) checks graphics and sound drivers (at least for me) and other drivers as well.

Yea, but the whole problem with that is, the driver they usually show, is out dated by about a month or so
