My opinion is that it it isn't broken don't fix it, unless you have a
problem fixed with the newer drivers.
This week on a Sony Vaio laptop running vista I was notified by Vaio
update that new drivers for Vista were available.
Went to the site, inputted my laptop model no etc & downloaded the drivers.

Graphics driver wouldn't install, period.
Soundcard driver did "upgrade" but wouldn't produce any sound.
Did a roll back on the driver & had patchy sound, so have to remove all
traces of the drivers & install the old one to get sound back properly.

The rest of the drivers installed ok but offered me nothing new...in
short, a waste of an hour.

If your computer is running ok, leave it running ok.
