What driver updates are you looking for in particular?
All drivers are free too

well my pc is about 4 years old so i thought that maybe having the most up-to-date drivers would speed up my mule a bit more seeing as i regularly cc clean and defrag so a place that would scan my pc and recommend updates would be most appreciated.

I don't think driver updates would speed up your PC.
Adding more memory or a new CPU would speed up your PC.
Reformatting your PC would notice a difference too.
Take a look at this thread, may offer some help.
Are you running XP? If so, take a look at this and this thread for further speeding up tips

It isn't always the case that the latest drivers are necessarily better. If a program is working well, why change things? In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! On the other hand, you can check for new drivers by going to Control Panel>System>Hardware tab>Device Manager, click on the relevant device, then on the Driver tab and then on 'Update Driver'. You can roll back to the previous driver if any update(s) you get cause problems. I can't see how updated drivers would speed up your PC.

You're welcome. This isn't about drivers, but it will check your PC to see if you've got the latest version of certain programs installed. It probably won't speed up your PC, but it'll help to make it as secure as possible.
