Vista has used its own MS drivers for my Athlon duel-core CPU, should I or should I not install AMD own drivers?

vista dual core drivers are dated 6/21/2006
amds dual core drivers are dated july 2006

so, it really seems that either would work... if you happen to experience performance issues using amds, you should probably use microsofts (because theyre included with vista by default, whereas amds need a compatability mode enabled in order to install, due to them being pre vista (i believe anyhow)
