Default Recovery CDs for Thinkpad 2647-44U

You may also find drivers searching for the chip model that handles the device. Most drivers are designed around a specific chip+OS combination, not the specific laptop model. For example a laptop with an ATI video card will work with the AMD Catalyst drivers, and they will be more up to date than the ones provided in the recovery CD. The same applies for other manufacturers including Intel, look for the video card chipset in Intel website or Google. You can find the hardware vendor and device ID in Windows device manager.
