Directory for Laptop & Notebook Drivers

As my 2 desktop computers are down at the moment (blue screen and partition malfunction) and I wasn't keen to service them for the moment, I decided to migrate more into my somewhat unused dual-core XP notebook Samsung R55. In the course of beefing up its configuration, I stumbled across the following URL:

http://www.notebook-drivers.com/

I had been aware that webcasting needs an up-to-date sound card driver for the desktops, but after trying to find an up-to-date graphic driver for the notebook (because of installing the free student version of the 3D mindmapping software Topicscape) at nVidia.com in order to accommodate my motherboard-based GeForce graphic card, I got the information that notebook graphic card drivers are only supplied by the according OEM notebook manufacturer, thus leading to the above Driver Directory for laptops and notebooks.

My driver search (using the Boolean search "Samsung AND R55") yielded a list of notebook drivers covering more than I had expected of. Check the hit list at the bottom of the following:

http://www.notebook-drivers.com/notebook-drivers/s_642_1.shtml

The following types of up-to-date notebook drivers are available:

At first, arranged under Windows 2000, XP, and Vista: Then bluetooth drivers, chipset drivers, Intel/nVidia graphic drivers, LAN/WLAN drivers, MC drivers?, modem drivers, sound drivers, touchpad drivers, wireless drivers, MMC reader drivers, battery and display drivers, easybox drivers?, keyboard drivers, management center drivers, network manager drivers, update plus drivers?, and finally BIOS/Micom drivers.

I have marked the ones in red that I think are relevant to webcasting, the other drivers can be installed at your discretion.

Yet, the directory is still not fully complete. If you use e.g. a Fujitsu notebook, you won't find this variety of types and those drivers for Vista. You will still need to visit the OEM notebook manufacturer's website, which offers those for Vista and in a similar variety of types.

This knowledge step also makes me reiterate back into my desktop configuration in order to check all the driver updates of the non-motherboard hardware components.
