Driver install/uninstall

Just i quick question. When i install a new update to my 5870 graphics card drivers i have always just installed over the previous version. Am i supposed to uninstall the previous drivers first or does it not matter.

technically it is replaced file for file, entry for entry. there should be no need.



that being said i uninstall previous drivers, then clean the registry, reboot, install new drivers.
