Delete current NVidia driver before updating?

Hey video driver experts/victims.   What have you  had the most success with regarding upgrading NVidia drivers...specifically the Go5650?  Is it best to delete the existing driver first through Add/Remove Programs?  And if so should you delete both the NVidia Drivers and the   NVidia Windows 2000/XP Display Drivers entries?  The instructions on LaptonVideo2go indicate that it is only necessary to delete the latter entry.  What do you think?
 
Thanks,

    I am at present using the latest 71.50s on my 5650FxGo,I have always just installed the drivers over top of my old ones and have never had a problem thus far,some say to remove your old drivers first others say it dosen't matter ,so  the choice is up to you, Good luck........

    I guess it's personal prefrence altho i prefer to uninstall and also use a driver cleaner it takes a whole 3 minutes longer . I guess it's just a extra step for a better install and dosn't leave a door open for potential problems personally i do think it matters but that's just my opinion. good luck
