I was experiencing rubber banding on BF3 and it wasn't my connection. I decided to uninstall BF3 and all my video card drivers, and now I have reinstalled my drivers I need to know if I should install BF3 with or without PunkBuster in case it causes complications?

PunkBuster is required for online.

Yes but can I not install it manually, and is that better than alongside Bf3?

I don't know if you can install it manually. It's been awhile since I've actually had to install PunkBuster separately.

i doesnt realy matter becus your installing punkbuster anyway doesnt matter if you do it with the insalation or after 

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed.

If you don't install pb with bf3 installation, game will kick you from server. You can download pbsetup.exe from punkbusters homepage and use it to download and update latest version. Pb however should not effect on gameplay in that way. Only time you even notice it when you get kicked for loosing packets or some other update related issue.
