Dear friends:

Is it good to update your drivers to the latest "Vista Compatible"
version if you plan to stay with XP?

Any hint?

Unless you are running Windows Vista - you have no need for Windows Vista
drivers.

If these are 'unified' drivers for Windows XP/Windows Vista - sure - you
could do that.

However - if you are not having ISSUES with your system as it is - if you do
not need new features that *may* exist with new drivers or if you are not
having any trouble with the device in question - there is little to no
incentive to get new drivers anyway.

I recommend not updating drivers unless there is a need. If things are
working why mess with it? Only update drivers if the new driver fixes a
problem that you are experiencing or it has some must have new feature.
