You have a couple of options on this:
1. As you suggest, you could completely uninstall CS3 so that you can then install CS4 in its place. However, the problem with this is that if you have any additional software (plugins, actions, styles etc etc) installed with CS3, you’re liable to lose them in the Uninstall.
2. If your hard drive is partitioned, you could install CS4 to a different partition from CS3, and the two should then co-exist with no problems. You’d then be free to add any additional material to CS4 (tho be wanred that a lot of actions specifically setup for CS3 may not work with CS4 (commands in diff places etc).
Good luck
