Windows Update cant distinguish betwen cards that well..
Think of it this way, if you installed the wrong 2001 driver, it may think
that the hardware you have is the same as the drivers your using..

Or, the worse stuff is where companys like Linksys (creative do it too)
release "Version" changes that means old and new drivers are not
interchangable..
So you should look on the Creative site and make sure that it only list 1
version of the card.. Unified drivers are not that uncommon so it shouldnt
be a problem, but I wouldnt let windows update do it.
