Smile Upgrading my NVIDIA drivers


Hi

I will be buying a NVIDIA 6600 GT video card and have downloaded the latest linux driver from the nvidia site. I already have an older linux 3D driver installed.

Question:

Can I simply execute the new driver or do I need to uninstall the previous one - if so how do I uninstall the previous one.

Thanks
Shelton

it has been my experience that the nvidia install script does a pretty good job of doing the upgrade correctly.
