The CD will be outdated, just use the latest drivers at the website. Do you have disaster recovery in place in order to restore your system? Cuz you never know what will happen after a driver update.

Exactly why I don't think it's worth doing. Unless trying to resolve a mobo problem that the specific update is known to fix.
