Manufacturer's website, [drivers|downloads|support], pick model number.
If that fails, Google.

I've often wondered what breed of "techie" uses these generic sites...

kamakuza... didnt they also make video cards? Nvidia chipset, but
they've now gone out of business, or only provide a korean website that
is unreadable to us english only people.

oh well, use that generic driver then.

also, gamers use the generic ones a lot too, as they usually give ever
so slightly better performance, oh yay, 1% more FPS in Quake 3, now it's
85% faster than my eye can see anyway. :)

I've always managed to find drivers by Googling numbers off chips (ICs) in
the past when all else fails. Takes a while sometimes though.
