Sleepycat is right - only update the drivers if you have a problem.  The army mechanic's wisdom of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a great rule of thumb when dealing with computers.

There is an exception to that: If you are building a new computer or installing a new video card it is usually best to download and install the latest drivers at the time of build/installation. Other than that, the "if it ain't broke" rule is the best course of action.
