    hello maddawgz,
    what motherboard have you got?
    and what make?
    some companies do a tool that you download that installs all the updates for you.

    link
    use link in an IE based browser.
    it will use activex to check for the lastest drivers.
    step 2 is installing the drivers.
    step 3. reboot to finish installing.
    more info at link 2

    The CD will be outdated, just use the latest drivers at the website. Do you have disaster recovery in place in order to restore your system? Cuz you never know what will happen after a driver update.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Exactly why I don't think it's worth doing. Unless trying to resolve a mobo problem that the specific update is known to fix.
