The only reason why you would want to update is for developing for OpenGL 3.2.. but that's not really worth it either cause not many people have OGL3.2.
I am using an optimized driver from
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com and it kicks ass. Can get 2-3 times fps in games by using that driver. No overclocking needed.

Release Notes (v195.62)
...
were those drivers released like
ages ago?
i sure have read the openCL support long ago
I think those were just beta drivers. Anyway the first beta worked with Dolphin OpenCL, the second showed hardly anything onscreen, and now it seems to just crash on boot...
