The usual advice given is to remove old driver then install updated one,

advantage of the Rollback option?

XP keeps a copy of all the drivers you've ever installed, so even if you
delete the current driver, XP still has a copy for rollback purposes.

- It's generally best to *NOT* allow Windows to update your drivers.
Things have improved a bit in Windows 7 in that regard, but it's still
considered "best practice" to update the drivers yourself. Unless
you're clueless.

- The "rollback" feature isn't very reliable. It works in a pinch, but
the best defense is a good image backup. Create an image before the
driver update and if there's a problem simply restore your image.
