software to update drivers

Is there any software on the market (similar to several PC apps) for the mac which will search my computer and recommend drivers which need to be updated?

If not, is there any easy way to determine what drivers need to be updated?

Dual 2.66 MacPro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 6 GB Ram

How many programs today don't have a preference to check for updates?

VersionTracker became a CNet subsidiary.
MacUpdate might have something.
And of course use those to search for such a utility!

And I don't trust a PC app to scan my Windows system for drivers, no way, ever. I visit a site or two that does list changes, like VT and MacUpdate.

Before you apply any update, clone your system of course as a precaution.
