You can check them in Win98 and I think Win2k (not sure what your running) by going in to your device manager and click the property tab and then the driver tab of the piece of hardware you were wondering about. Should give you a date. Go to the website of your hardware and check to see if there is a newer version. Some may give you the date of the driver, some may not. Some driver releases can decrease performance, so have the original one handy. Just compare.

Not that I have heard of. There may be some obscure website that might have something running to test your machine. I think Microsoft has a driver testing area, but they have to be WHQL certified.
