Installing drivers for my Dell 2400... can I use the drivers for the 4600 with it?

Question

I just reformatted my windows XP, and I am in the process of re-installing my drivers. I know I'm supposed to install the ones with checkmarks next to them, but most categories have 2 or more checkmarks for different computer models.
For example, my Audio drivers look like this:

Analog Devices ADI 1998x integrated audio Rev: A12
(system model: 4600)
-or-
Analog Devices ADI 1998x integrated audio Rev: A10
(system model: 2400)

My question is, can I just install the drivers for the newer Rev, even though it is designed for a 4600. (keep in mind I have a 2400)

I also have these other drivers waiting to be installed:
Controller drivers
Network (NIC) drivers
Video drivers

all with similar situations

Answer 1

you would need to install the ones for your particular model as there may be hardware differences between the models
