If you need a driver for something in a custom built computer or a component added that wasn't from the factory, try the manufacturer's website first. If you need motherboard drivers for your onboard video, Google your motherboard manufacturer and see if you can get it this way. This isn't always easy because a lot of the companies are overseas and you may get sites in complete Japanese!
My third suggestion is http://www.driverguide.com. You will have to make an account, but it's a really great site and it's worth it. Here you can find a driver for just about anything imaginable! There's a wizard where you choose your type of device (motherboard, graphics card, modem, etc.) then you choose your manufacturer then you search for specifics to find your driver.
Let me know if you need more info.
