Wouldn't it be great if you knew exactly where to go on the Web to get the information you need? The Web is huge, however, and there's no single place to find everything. So we've done the hunting for you.

Our intrepid editors and reporters checked out the best sites in 33 categories, with a focus on sites that make you a smarter and happier technology user. We zeroed in on the best places for audio downloads and security diagnostics, for information about hardware and games, for clip art to use on your Web site, and for driver updates for Windows.

In making our judgments, we considered ease of use, breadth of content, and usefulness of information, and we looked at sites that offer free stuff as well as stuff that's worth its asking price. We chose a top pick and a runner-up in each category (which gives you more options); we've also included personal favorites from four PC World editors. But if you don't like our picks--or have other favorites--feel free to send in your own nominees to bestofweb@pcworld.com.
