This is probably a silly question but I would appreciate some input.

If I install new graphics drivers, is it wise to re-install my chipset and audio drivers too?

Also, if I re-install my chipset drivers, should I remove them first and then install them? Since they are the same drivers I'd have thought the files will simply be overwritten with the same ones.

Cheers :)
 
My advice is be Up to date.
Also you can explore you installation CD, to be sure it will install only Video drivers. For example Gainward ships their CDs with chipset drivers, but their date are 2002 or even older, so for most high end chipset are not recommended, so afterward you need to re-install your chipsets drivers.
There is not need for audio drivers re-installation.
Chipset drivers are important as they control the bus between components.
