Driver Updates

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 and have not updated the drivers since 8-25-2004 ver: 6.14.10. I know that there is a certain way to update these drivers, by first uninstalling a bunch of things plus deleting some more files. I was wondering if, I should install the whole suite or just the drivers? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also is there not a uninstall program for some of this?

NO you should be fine to just install the latest drivers as an update, you can just install the drivers and leave the ATi Catalyst Control Panel out, but if you decide to install the control panel then you will also need Microsoft .Net.

Is there any major reason to install the control Panel? I do have it installed on this older version that I have now.

No major reasons not to install it, but I would stop the startup tray control that it adds ( similar to Nvidia drivers ) as you dont really need another startup app when all the settings can be controled via right click properties or control panel.

I have the same card, ver: 6.14.10, but when i updated my drivers and did a dxdiag i still see 6.14 instead of the 7.XXX I installed. Did I miss a step?
