driver discovery tool for dell xps with xp?

I have a dell xps 1330 machine that is running xp pro. Dell no longer has drivers for these units on their website. (vista 32/64 and win7)

Some vista 32 bit drivers will work but not all. I'm missing about 8 drivers including video and wlan.

I see many pay for driver tools and Dell offers to sell me the old drivers but I'm sure they exist for free out in the wild somewhere.

Can anyone recommend a good free driver discovery tool?

I have tried using adia32 and various system profilers to get names of what I am looking for but unknown device seems to be the name of the day. :)

Thanks in advance.

I was able to find drivers via driver easy. The free version didn't download any faster than about 10kb but it gave me the name of the drivers I was looking for. After that it was easy enough to find them around google.
