Updating Bootcamp with Windows 7

Hi guys,

I have an iMac (21,5", late 2011) with Mac OS X Lion and I have installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits through Bootcamp 4. My question is, should I install the latest Bootcamp (5) over the existent? Will the drivers be more up to date?

I have installed Windows yesterday selecting the option to get the most up to date files for bootcamp on the internet, but it came with Bootcamp 4. That is why I am in doubt.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
