Likely its about every 5 years, by that length of time, technology has been improved enough to justify a new one.  Personally I dont chase tech and tend to buy the previous year tech, since its usually 30-40% cheaper and usually not many real improvements.

Keep in mind golfers tend to chase every little bit of new tech hoping its the magic bullet, and the OEM's need to tweak their products just to justify a new line or model.  Case in point, TM now has white drivers,,does it actually improve preformance,,no,,does it make their product more identifiable as the latest and greatest,,yes.

Latest issue of Golf Digest has their 2012 hot list,,and best in class selections based on their panel for every type of club in your bag.  That would be a good place to start.

PS Also note that you used the word NEED for a new driver,,Wanting a new one is something else.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
