[QUOTE="dtran086, post: 1440532, member: 215172"] Hey everyone, I was just curious about something. When I run a "software update" on my iMac...what does it actually check when checking for new available updates? Does it just check for updates that apple releases? like software/firmware updates? I am asking because, what if there is a new sound card driver available, or a new video card driver available? Does the software update check for those available updates? if not, how do I update those system hardware drivers?? Another question, is it even wise or necessary to update those drivers? thanks to everyone in advance for any responses. :) [/QUOTE]
