Where can I find out what drivers my computer needs?

I need a network controller driver, yet the one for my motherboard doesnt seem to work.

Also I have a Nvidia 8500GT card and I can't get a driver from nvidia for it, as its very slow to download.

There is a "PCI device".

Where can I find a scanner that will tell me what I need driver wise?

    you could also try "everest home edition" which should list all the components your PC has, it will also tell you what the size and speed of your CPU is, RAM etc.
