Such websites will not necessarily tell you which version of the driver you already have, but will usually include a release date and a list of fixes and upgrades that the newer driver provides. If and when you do find the need to update your drivers, the best place is often your computer manufacturers website. The only real reason would be to resolve a problem that you are experiencing with a particular piece of hardware, or to gain an additional feature from that hardware (AND if a newer driver version addresses this issue - for example, the wireless function of your laptop may have an updated driver that allows connections to WPA2 encrypted networks). In general, it is not necessary to update drivers on a regular basis.
Depending on who you speak to, you will often get many answers as to when and why you should update drivers to a newer version. The idea and concept of regularly updating drivers is somewhat misleading.
